Why Are These Tools Free?
Good question. The reasons vary:
- Open-source models: DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral are free by design
- User acquisition: Companies use free versions to attract users who later pay for premium
- Training data: Some services use your conversations to improve their models
- Advertising/Upselling: They show you ads or sell you other products
At KiviTools we don't use your data for anything other than giving you the result. No ads, no annoying upselling. Just free tools because DeepSeek makes it economically viable for us.
