Cheapest AI agent subscription
The cheapest AI agent subscription among the tools compared here is uooki Starter at $9.9/mo billed yearly, after a $0 tier with 100 one-time credits. But "cheapest" is only meaningful once you know what a credit buys, so this page shows it — every figure read from the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-07-29.
Entry price across the field
Cheapest paid tier per vendor, with the free tier next to it. Vendors solve different problems — this is a price comparison, not a ranking.
| Vendor | Free tier | Cheapest paid | What that buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| uooki | $0 — 100 credits (one-time) | $9.9/mo yearly ($12.9 monthly) | 5,000 credits/mo |
| Emergent | $0 — 10 credits/mo | $20/mo annual | 100 credits/mo |
| Replit | $0 Starter — daily Agent credits | $20/mo annual ($25 monthly) | $25 of monthly credits |
| Manus | None published | $20/mo | 4,000 credits/mo + 300 daily |
| ChatGPT | Free plan available | Plus $20/mo | Broader model and tool access |
| Perplexity | $0 — search with citations | Pro $20/mo | 4,000 bonus credits |
| Lovable | $0 — 5 build credits/day | $25/mo Pro | 100 credits/mo |

Every one of these credits means something different
The table above is honest about price and misleading about value, and it is worth being explicit about why. Replit denominates credits in dollars — $25 of credits for $25. Lovable spends roughly 0.50 to 1.70 credits per message depending on complexity. Manus refreshes 300 credits daily on top of the monthly pool. uooki gives 5,000 a month and states its own conversion on the pricing page. These units are not interchangeable and dividing credits by price produces a number that means nothing.
One thing does compare cleanly: the billing unit, which is where the biggest surprises live. Everything in this table bills per account, so extra projects consume credits. Elsewhere in the app-builder market that is not true — Bubble bills per project at $59/mo and Appy Pie bills per app from $16/mo, so a second idea means a second subscription rather than more usage.

How to actually pick
Spend the free tiers first
Six of the seven vendors above have one. Run the same real task through two or three of them before paying anything — output quality on your kind of work varies far more than price does.
Buy monthly until you are sure
Annual discounts here run 17–20%, which is not enough to justify a year of the wrong tool. Switch to annual once you have used something for a month and not resented it.
Check the expiry rule before annual
Prepaying a year for credits that expire monthly is the most common way people overpay in this category. Find the expiry sentence on the pricing page before you commit.
Count your projects
If you are choosing between per-account and per-project pricing, the break-even is usually the second project. Below that, per-project can be cheaper; above it, almost never.
Frequently asked
- What is the cheapest AI agent subscription?
- Among the vendors priced here on 2026-07-29, uooki Starter at $9.9/mo billed yearly is the lowest paid tier, and uooki also has a $0 tier with 100 one-time credits. Emergent, Replit, Manus, ChatGPT and Perplexity all sit at $20/mo entry; Lovable at $25/mo.
- Is there a free AI agent?
- Free tiers rather than free products: uooki ($0, 100 one-time credits), Emergent (10 credits/mo), Replit Starter (daily Agent credits), Lovable (5 build credits/day), Perplexity (search with citations) and ChatGPT all have one. Manus does not publish a free tier. All are sized to evaluate rather than to run on indefinitely.
- How much does an AI agent cost in India?
- These are USD subscriptions billed globally, so the plan price is the same wherever you are — $0 to $9.9/mo for uooki's lower tiers, $20/mo for most competitors — with local taxes and card FX fees applied by your payment provider on top. Vendors in this comparison do not publish separate India pricing.
- Which plan should I start on?
- The free one. Run a task you actually care about, look at what comes back, and only then decide whether the $10–25/mo tier is worth it. Nobody can tell you whether a tool suits your work from a pricing table — including this one.
