Built for this. Reads long files and whole error traces without losing the thread, which makes it good at explaining unfamiliar code and debugging in a chat window.

Watch out: The chat window has no access to your project. For multi-file work you need the agent below or a dedicated editor.
Strong fit. A spreadsheet that will fetch data and run analysis from a prompt, without leaving the grid. Familiar shape for anyone who already works in one.

Watch out: A spreadsheet is only as right as its inputs, and a generated formula is easier to trust than to check. AI tasks are capped by tier, at 5 a month free, 200 on Plus and 1,000 on Pro, and Pro charges a flat monthly fee on top of its per-seat price.

Strong fit. Unusually generous free tier for individuals, and it plugs into standard IDEs rather than requiring a new one.

Watch out: Less capable at whole-repository reasoning than the purpose-built agents. It is also reachable through the Google Developer Program, which is a separate membership with its own terms rather than a tier on this ladder.

Watch out: Suggestions are strongest on common patterns and weakest exactly where your codebase is unusual. Pro and above bundle a monthly credit allowance, so premium-model work is metered on top of the seat.

Built for this. Upload a spreadsheet and it writes and runs real code against it, showing the working rather than describing it.

Watch out: A generated analysis is only as good as the question. Work is metered in credits, and Max and Business are sold at a credit level you choose, so their headline price is the entry rate.
Two things separate these and both are on every card.
Fit
Whether a tool is built for this job, a strong fit for it, or
able to do it without that being its focus.
Free plan
Whether there is a tier you can keep using rather than a
trial that expires.
The order
Fit first, then a free plan, then alphabetical. There is
no score, no weighting we decline to publish, and nothing on this site a company can buy.
Questions
What is the best ai for sql?
There is no single answer, which is why this page lists 9 rather than one: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Rows, Gemini Code Assist, Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, Julius AI, JetBrains AI. 5 of them are built for this kind of work rather than able to do it. Start with a free one.
Which of these have a free plan?
9 of the 9: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Rows, Gemini Code Assist, Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, Julius AI, JetBrains AI. Free means a real free tier you can keep using, not a trial that expires.
How was this list chosen?
By hand, from the 750 products this site tracks, and it is checked against the catalogue on every build — a product renamed or removed breaks the build rather than quietly disappearing from here. Nothing on this site can be paid for: no listing, no position, no wording.
