Pros and cons

Felo

Pros

  • Permanent free plan with 200 credits per day and no credit card required.
  • Combines cited search with slides, images, video and agents in one subscription.
  • Pro plan at about $15 per month includes API access.
  • Multilingual focus, including Japanese-language accuracy.
  • Available on web, iOS and Android.

Cons

  • Credit-based usage makes real limits harder to predict than fixed quotas.
  • Free plan excludes AI Slides, AI Designer, custom agents, video and the API.
  • Pro credits do not roll over between billing cycles.
  • Current pricing is rendered dynamically and older published plan descriptions (search counts) differ from the new credit model.

Gemini Notebook

Pros

  • Answers cite the uploaded sources, so claims can be checked against the original text
  • Free Standard tier with 100 notebooks and 50 sources per notebook
  • Wide range of outputs, including Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and slide decks
  • Accepts PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, audio files, Google Docs and Google Slides
  • Available on web, iOS and Android, and synced with the Gemini app

Cons

  • Works from the sources you add and is not built for live web news search
  • Higher limits require a Google AI subscription; Ultra starts at $99.99 per month
  • The cloud computer for code execution started with Ultra and Workspace AI Ultra Access customers, with Pro rollout still described as upcoming
  • No public API for the consumer product, and the renamed brand can make older guides and app listings confusing
