Meta AI

FreemiumAI chatconversational ai

Meta AI is the assistant Meta has placed everywhere -- WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Threads, a web app, and Ray-Ban Meta glasses -- powered by its open-weight Llama 4.5 models. For most people it's free and reaches them inside apps they already use, which is its single biggest advantage. A paid tier (~$7.99/mo) entered testing in mid-2026, so the 'free forever' framing is starting to erode. It's fine for casual chat and image generation but trails ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on hard reasoning and coding, and there's no first-party consumer API.

Freemium · Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Threads, the web app, and Ray-Ban Meta glasses. A paid tier (~$7.99/mo) entered testing in mid-2026, not a general rollout. No consumer API; Llama 4.5 weights are open and self-hostable. As of June 2026.

EDITORIAL VERDICT · BIGBANGINDEX

Meta AI edges Kore.ai on aggregate — 73 vs 59.

The most ubiquitous and still-mostly-free option -- but it trails on raw capability and a paid tier is now in testing, so 'free forever' is no longer guaranteed. Kore.ai still wins for buyers who prioritise advanced multi-agent orchestration. Both tools are independently scored — the right pick depends on which dimensions matter most for your workflow.
