    Disputed

    OpenAI’s official sources disagree: pricing and the 7 October release notes name GPT-6 Luna for Free, while the Free FAQ and model help name GPT-5.6 Luna. The lens does not resolve this conflict. These are display names; these sources publish no fixed backend snapshot ID.

Gemini13 findings

  • Default model

    Unknown

    Without a Google AI plan, the model guide lists Auto or Flash-Lite. With automatic selection enabled, Gemini uses Flash-Lite for most prompts and may use Flash or Pro for more reasoning; with it disabled, all responses use Flash-Lite. This does not establish the initial toggle setting for a new account or a fixed backend snapshot.

    Gemini’s Free model guide names Flash-Lite, with automatic routing to Flash or Pro when Auto is enabled.

  • Usage limit

    Not disclosed

    Grok’s Free plan lists limited chat requests without a count. The general pricing FAQ says each tier’s allowance refreshes weekly, but usage help separates Free Chat and Voice limits from the paid weekly pool and gives them their own reset schedule. A weekly Free window or numeric quota is therefore not established.

    All three platform articles explicitly require age 18+, while the active feature claim gives no age qualification. Availability remains true for eligible users.

    Previous claim · closed

    Gemini's feature-availability table marks Deep Research with a checkmark in the 'Without a Google AI plan' column, and Google's Deep Research help articles (computer, Android and iPhone) say Gemini includes Google Search as a source by default. The evidence covers web search within Deep Research only; no captured page names a web-search tool for ordinary chat. Google also says Deep Research may be unavailable to users without a plan during periods of high demand.

    Replacement finding: Gemini’s feature table marks Deep Research as available without a Google AI plan. Google’s computer, Android and iPhone guides say it includes Google Search by default and requires users to be 18 or over and signed in. This evidence covers search within Deep Research only, rather than ordinary chat. Google also says it may be unavailable without a plan during high demand.

    To sign in to Gemini Apps with a personal or school Google Account, Google requires users to be 13 (or the applicable minimum age in their country) or older.

    Replacement finding: Gemini’s sign-in help page is internally inconsistent about age.

    Google's Gemini Apps help pages list three models available without an AI plan (Flash-Lite, Flash and Pro) but do not state which one is used by default for a new chat.

    Replacement finding: Without a Google AI plan, the model guide lists Auto or Flash-Lite. With automatic selection enabled, Gemini uses Flash-Lite for most prompts and may use Flash or Pro for more reasoning; with it disabled, all responses use Flash-Lite. This does not establish the initial toggle setting for a new account or a fixed backend snapshot.

    Replacement finding: Gemini’s Free model guide names Flash-Lite, with automatic routing to Flash or Pro when Auto is enabled. Manual model switching is described for Google AI plan subscribers, so these three names are not equivalent manual Free choices. The guide does not tie these names to backend version numbers.

    OpenAI's help article on GPT-5.6 says the default model for Free and Go users is GPT-5.6 Luna, which also powers Think. The release notes of 14 August 2026 announced the change for that week.

    Replacement finding: OpenAI’s official sources disagree: pricing and the 7 October release notes name GPT-6 Luna for Free, while the Free FAQ and model help name GPT-5.6 Luna. The lens does not resolve this conflict. These are display names; these sources publish no fixed backend snapshot ID.

    xAI says the Free plan gives Grok "within generous limits" and that the free tier has its own limits on Chat and Voice that reset on their own schedule; it publishes no number or time window for them.

    Replacement finding: Grok’s Free plan lists limited chat requests without a count. The general pricing FAQ says each tier’s allowance refreshes weekly, but usage help separates Free Chat and Voice limits from the paid weekly pool and gives them their own reset schedule. A weekly Free window or numeric quota is therefore not established.

    28 October evidence review: updated the finding or its scope from preserved sources; the product change date is not inferred.

    Previous claim · closed

    Grok's plan table marks the Free column in the "Image generation (Imagine)" row, while the "Video generation" row carries a faded mark in the same column: image generation is on the Free plan, video generation is not.

    Replacement finding: The current plan table marks the Free image-generation (Imagine) cell Limited. This establishes limited image access without a numeric quota; this finding makes no video-access claim.

  • Copilot · Observed change ·

    28 October evidence review: updated the finding or its scope from preserved sources; the product change date is not inferred.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft's help article for Microsoft Copilot documents uploading images and supported files into a chat, up to 20 files per conversation. No official page we collected says whether the free version includes it: the list of what "Microsoft Copilot (free) allows you to" do does not name uploads, and the evidence is for the product, not the plan.

    Replacement finding: The current upload article lists 20 files per conversation and 50 MB per file. Its scope combines Microsoft 365 personal subscriptions, work accounts and “free Copilot Chat”; this alone does not establish uploads on the personal Free service in Q-FREE. The finding stays Unknown and work limits are not assigned to personal Free.

  • Copilot · Observed change ·

    28 October review: retained the conversation-mode article’s account-scope banner; a matching quote alone does not establish Free scope.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft's help tells users to press "Quick response" under the prompt to choose another mode, and names no model for Quick response. It names GPT-5 for Smart mode only.

    Replacement finding: Microsoft help describes Quick response without naming its model. The page banner scopes the article to personal Microsoft 365 subscriptions, despite saying “all Copilot users” within it. This does not establish a common default model that includes personal Free.

  • Copilot · Observed change ·

    28 October review: retained the conversation-mode article’s account-scope banner; a matching quote alone does not establish Free scope.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft's help article on conversation modes says Smart mode uses the GPT-5 model and is available to all Copilot users. It says Think Deeper runs on "the latest reasoning models from OpenAI" without naming them, and names no model for Quick response.

    Replacement finding: Microsoft help names GPT-5 for Smart and says it is for all Copilot users, but its banner scopes the article to personal Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Its scope for personal Free remains unresolved; GPT-5 is not presented as confirmed Free access and its name does not establish a backend snapshot.

    Previous claim · closed

    Copilot is signed into with a Microsoft Account, Apple ID or Google Account. Microsoft says a Microsoft account can be created with an email address instead of a phone number.

    Replacement finding: Current help permits a Microsoft account, Apple ID or Google Account on web, mobile and macOS; the Windows app requires a Microsoft account. Microsoft account help permits email instead of a phone number at sign-up; this is not a guarantee against a later verification request.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft's help pages say free Microsoft Copilot creates images. One page lists image creation among what signing in with a personal account gives; another says signing in gives more image creation.

    Replacement finding: The Microsoft Copilot Free section documents image creation and lists it among the benefits of signing in with a personal account, alongside history and voice. The earlier getting-started wording is not retained after its URL redirected to a mixed personal/work guide.

    ChatGPT's plan-comparison table marks GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-5 Thinking Mini Yes for the Free plan.

    Replacement finding: Pricing includes GPT-6 Luna and GPT-5 Thinking Mini for Free and marks GPT-5.6 Luna No, while the Free FAQ still gives Free users GPT-5.6 Luna. The chat-model list remains disputed. A display name does not establish a backend version.

  • Perplexity · Observed change ·

    28 October review: evidence refreshed from the preserved source at its observation date; the finding is unchanged, and no service-change date is inferred.

    Previous claim · closed

    Perplexity's own pages disagree. The plans page (last modified 5 September 2026) says the Free plan has no image generation, and its table marks Image Generation No for Free. The image-generation help article (last modified 3 September 2026) says: "Free Plan: Get access to limited image generations." The plans page is newer, but the conflict stands.

    Replacement finding: Preserved Perplexity evidence conflicts. The plans archive observed on 26 October 2026, marked last modified 8 October, lists Image Generation No for Free. The help article preserved on 22 September, marked last modified 3 September, says Free has limited image generations. The help article’s current state is not verified; the old 10 July archive returned by the watch does not establish it. The unresolved finding compares these dated sources, rather than freshly confirming both pages.

  • ChatGPT · Observed change ·

    OpenAI reworded its phone-verification page: instead of "no longer required", it now says verification is "not generally required", with an exception when accessing Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app (29 September 2026).

    Previous claim · closed

    OpenAI's help center says phone verification is no longer required to create a new OpenAI account or to use ChatGPT. It is still required when generating a first API key.

    Replacement finding: OpenAI's help center says phone verification is not generally required to create an OpenAI account or use ChatGPT. It is still required when generating a first API key. The page names one exception, recorded separately: Codex in the desktop app.

  • Claude · Observed change ·

    Claude's pricing table no longer shows 200k for the Free plan; it now reads "Up to 1M, varies by model".

    Previous claim · closed

    The plan-comparison table on Claude's pricing page shows the Free plan's context window as 200k tokens.

    Replacement finding: Claude's pricing table gives no single context-window figure for the Free plan; it reads "Up to 1M, varies by model", the same wording as the paid plans.

Record corrections & improvements (27)27

  • DeepSeek · Correction ·

    A correction to our record, not a change in the service: we presented the 1M-token figure as a general current value. It is the newest official figure we found, from the 24 April 2026 notice in the developer documentation, not a measurement of today.

    Previous claim · closed

    DeepSeek's V4 release notice (24 April 2026) says a 1M-token context is now the default across all official DeepSeek services.

    Replacement finding: DeepSeek's V4 release notice (24 April 2026) says a 1M-token context is the default across all its official services. The notice is published in the developer documentation, and no consumer page restates the figure for the free chat app; it is the newest official figure we found, not a measurement of today.

  • DeepSeek · Correction ·

    A correction to our record, not a change in the service: we recorded that no phone number is required, based on the English terms and the app notice. The Chinese privacy policy (updated 10 February 2026) requires one to register, so the answer depends on the version and region.

    Previous claim · closed

    DeepSeek's terms say an account is registered with an email or a third-party account, and its app notice lists the login methods as e-mail, Google Account and Apple ID. Neither names a phone number.

    Replacement finding: DeepSeek's English terms say an account is registered with an email or a third-party account, and its app notice lists the login methods as e-mail, Google Account and Apple ID; neither names a phone number. The Chinese privacy policy (updated 10 February 2026) says registration and login need the user's own mobile number, and that the number is required to meet China's real-name rules. So the answer depends on which version you register with.

  • Copilot · Correction ·

    Recorded from a page about the older Copilot app, as the only official source. The Copilot Supplemental Terms (effective 18 August 2026), captured on 22 September 2026, state it for the current app.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft's official page requires Copilot users to be at least 13 years old, with a higher minimum in some countries depending on regional requirements. The page states it applies to "the older version" of the Copilot app and points web/updated-app users to a different article that was not captured here; it is nonetheless the only official source found that publishes a minimum-age figure.

    Replacement finding: Microsoft's Copilot Supplemental Terms (effective 18 August 2026), which apply to the Copilot app on web, desktop and mobile, say a user must be at least 13, and sometimes older depending on the country's laws.

  • ChatGPT · Correction ·

    Recorded as publishing no figures for tool limits, file uploads included. The File Uploads FAQ, captured on 22 September 2026, publishes one for file uploads: 3 per day.

    Previous claim · closed

    File uploads, image generation, voice and data analysis on ChatGPT Free carry separate usage limits from the main chat limit; OpenAI does not publish figures for them.

    Replacement finding: On ChatGPT Free, image generation, voice, data analysis and other tools have usage limits separate from the main chat limit, and OpenAI publishes no figures for them. File uploads are the exception, with a published limit of 3 a day.

  • Perplexity · Correction ·

    Recorded as Confirmed unavailable, from the plans page alone. The image-generation help article, captured on 22 September 2026, says the Free plan gets limited image generations, so the cell is now Disputed.

    Previous claim · closed

    Perplexity says the Free plan has no access to image generation.

    Replacement finding: Perplexity's own pages disagree. The plans page (last modified 5 September 2026) says the Free plan has no image generation, and its table marks Image Generation No for Free. The image-generation help article (last modified 3 September 2026) says: "Free Plan: Get access to limited image generations." The plans page is newer, but the conflict stands.

  • Gemini · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. The feature table on Gemini's limits page and the Deep Research help articles, captured on 22 September 2026, answer it within Deep Research.

    Previous claim · closed

    None of the captured official Gemini pages states whether a user without a Google AI plan can use a web-search tool inside Gemini Apps; the pages describe Google Search's 'AI Mode' integration only as a benefit for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

    Replacement finding: Gemini's feature-availability table marks Deep Research with a checkmark in the 'Without a Google AI plan' column, and Google's Deep Research help articles (computer, Android and iPhone) say Gemini includes Google Search as a source by default. The evidence covers web search within Deep Research only; no captured page names a web-search tool for ordinary chat. Google also says Deep Research may be unavailable to users without a plan during periods of high demand.

  • Perplexity · Correction ·

    Recorded as publishing no number or time window. The comparison table on the same plans page, captured on 22 September 2026, gives two for the Free plan: 3 Pro Searches a day and 1 Research query a month.

    Previous claim · closed

    Perplexity says the Free plan gives "practically unlimited" basic searches and a "very limited" number of Pro Searches; it publishes no number or time window.

    Replacement finding: Perplexity says the Free plan gives practically unlimited basic searches; it publishes no number for them.

  • Perplexity · Correction ·

    Recorded as available on every plan, from a page that documents the feature for the product and names no plan. The lens asks about the free plan, and this evidence does not answer it, so the cell is now Unknown for the free plan.

    Previous claim · closed

    Perplexity's help article explains how to start a voice conversation by tapping the voice icon in the iOS app; it does not tie the feature to a paid or free plan.

    Replacement finding: Perplexity's help article explains how to start a voice conversation in the iOS app. No official page we collected says whether the Free plan includes it: the plans page and the pricing hub do not mention voice, and the evidence is for the product, not the plan.

  • Grok · Correction ·

    Recorded as available on every plan, from a page that documents the feature for the product and names no plan. The lens asks about the free plan, and this evidence does not answer it, so the cell is now Unknown for the free plan.

    Previous claim · closed

    Grok's apps FAQ says Grok accepts many file types in chats on the web, iOS and Android, and that limits can vary slightly by platform or subscription; the page does not state this for the Free plan alone.

    Replacement finding: Grok's apps FAQ documents file upload in chats on the web, iOS and Android, and says limits vary by platform or subscription. No official page we collected says whether the Free plan includes it: the evidence is for the product, not the plan.

  • Claude · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. The help article "Can Claude produce images?", captured on 22 September 2026, answers it.

    Previous claim · closed

    Neither Claude's pricing page nor its plan-comparison table nor the 'usage and length limits' article states an image-generation feature for the Free plan. The Help Center article titled 'Can Claude produce images?' was not captured with its full content; its title appeared only as a navigation link on other captured pages.

    Replacement finding: Claude's help center says Claude does not generate photos or illustrations the way image-generation tools do. It can draw diagrams and interactive visuals with HTML and SVG, and read uploaded images.

  • Copilot · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. Microsoft's help article on creating a Microsoft account, captured on 22 September 2026, answers it.

    Previous claim · closed

    The official pages reviewed do not state whether a phone number is required to create an account for Copilot; the getting-started page describes signing in with a Microsoft Account, Apple ID or Google Account without mentioning a phone number.

    Replacement finding: Copilot is signed into with a Microsoft Account, Apple ID or Google Account. Microsoft says a Microsoft account can be created with an email address instead of a phone number.

  • Claude · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. The help article "Upload files to Claude", captured on 22 September 2026, answers it.

    Previous claim · closed

    Claude's pricing page states the Free plan includes "Create files and execute code," which is a different capability from uploading files. None of the captured sources explicitly states whether file upload is available on the Free plan. The Help Center article 'Upload files to Claude' was not captured with its full content; its title appeared only as a navigation link.

    Replacement finding: Claude's help center describes uploading documents and images to chats, up to 20 files per chat. The article ties uploading to no paid plan.

  • Copilot · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. Microsoft's help article on file upload in Microsoft Copilot, captured on 22 September 2026, answers it.

    Previous claim · closed

    The captured official pages do not confirm whether the current free Microsoft Copilot plan lets users upload files. The age-limits article mentions uploading content to Copilot, but it applies only to the older version of the app; the current-app article it points to was not captured.

    Replacement finding: Microsoft's help article for Microsoft Copilot (not Copilot for work) says users can upload images and supported file types into a chat, up to 20 files per conversation. The article ties the feature to no paid plan.

    Previous claim · closed

    Microsoft does not name the underlying model that powers the free Microsoft Copilot plan on any of the official pages reviewed; the chat and image capabilities are described without naming a model.

    Replacement finding: Microsoft's help tells users to press "Quick response" under the prompt to choose another mode, and names no model for Quick response. It names GPT-5 for Smart mode only.

  • Copilot · Correction ·

    Previous claim · closed

    Replacement finding: Microsoft's help article on conversation modes says Smart mode uses the GPT-5 model and is available to all Copilot users. It says Think Deeper runs on "the latest reasoning models from OpenAI" without naming them, and names no model for Quick response.

  • DeepSeek · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. DeepSeek's app launch notice (January 2025), captured on 22 September 2026, lists web search among the free app's features.

    Previous claim · closed

    The captured pages do not state a web-search tool on the free chat app.

    Replacement finding: DeepSeek's app launch notice (15 January 2025) lists web search among the features of the free app on the App Store and Google Play. We found no newer official page that restates it.

  • DeepSeek · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. DeepSeek's app launch notice and its App Store listing, captured on 22 September 2026, mention file upload.

    Previous claim · closed

    Recorded as Unknown. DeepSeek's app launch notice, captured on 22 September 2026, lists the login methods, alongside the terms of use.

    Previous claim · closed

    DeepSeek's Terms of Use mention registering an account using "your Email or third-party account", without explicitly naming or ruling out a phone number as a general sign-up requirement, and the chat app itself could not be reviewed (see tried).

    Replacement finding: DeepSeek's terms say an account is registered with an email or a third-party account, and its app notice lists the login methods as e-mail, Google Account and Apple ID. Neither names a phone number.

  • Meta AI · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. Meta's pages on the Meta Account and on creating a Facebook account, captured on 22 September 2026, answer it for meta.ai.

    Previous claim · closed

    The official Meta pages reviewed do not state whether a phone number is required to create the Meta account used with Meta AI; the available article only describes how a phone number or email is used after an account exists (login, notifications, verification), not a sign-up requirement.

    Replacement finding: Meta says Meta AI needs a Meta Account, and that Meta Accounts work on Facebook and Meta AI. Facebook's sign-up help asks for an email address or a mobile number, and confirms either one. This does not cover Meta AI inside WhatsApp.

  • Meta AI · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. A WhatsApp help article captured on 22 September 2026 shows the list is not published, and two February 2025 press reports name Arab countries.

    Previous claim · closed

    Replacement finding: WhatsApp's help center says Meta AI is currently available only in "limited countries" and is rolling out gradually, without listing the countries.

  • Gemini · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. Google's help article on creating a Google Account, captured on 22 September 2026, answers it.

    Previous claim · closed

    None of the captured official Gemini pages states whether a phone number is required to create or sign in to a Google Account used with Gemini.

    Replacement finding: Gemini needs a Google Account. Google's help on creating one lists adding a phone number as an optional step, and allows signing up with an existing non-Google email address.

  • Gemini · Correction ·

    Recorded as Unknown. Gemini's two app-store listings and the Gemini Live help articles, captured on 22 September 2026, answer it per platform.

    Previous claim · closed

    None of the captured Gemini help pages states whether voice chat (such as Gemini Live) is available to users without a Google AI plan; 'Gemini Live' appears only as an unlabelled row name in the Google AI plans comparison table, with no free-tier value extractable from the table's icon-based marks.

    Replacement finding: Gemini's Google Play listing names Gemini Live among the app's features without tying it to a paid plan, while it ties video creation to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra. Google's help article lists what Gemini Live needs (an Android device, the app, a Google account, age 13 or over) with no paid plan among them.

    Replacement finding: OpenAI's help center says phone verification is no longer required to create a new OpenAI account or to use ChatGPT. It is still required when generating a first API key.

  • ChatGPT · Correction ·

    Recorded GPT-5.6 Terra among the Free models on every surface. The same comparison table limits it to Work and Codex on desktop, so it now has its own desktop record.

    Previous claim · closed

    Replacement finding: ChatGPT's plan-comparison table marks GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-5 Thinking Mini Yes for the Free plan.

  • Gemini · Correction ·

    Closed as a correction: the quoted rule is for Gemini Apps with a paid Google AI plan in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK (18+), not a free-plan minimum. Paid plans are out of vocabulary; the free/all minimum remains 13.

    Previous claim · closed

    Google states that using Gemini Apps with a Google AI subscription plan in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom requires being 18 or older, instead of the usual 13-or-country-minimum that otherwise applies.
