Top 5 FREE AI Apps You Need on Your iPhone and Android (No Subscriptions, No Catch)
Most “free” AI apps out there are sneakier than your ex’s Finsta. You download it, get hyped, and bam—you’ve hit a paywall faster than your screen time warning on a Sunday scroll. But fear not. We’ve sifted through the noise and found five actually free AI apps that slap—no trials, no strings, just straight-up functionality.
Whether you're editing pics on the go, generating wild AI art, scanning your room in 3D, or turning articles into audiobooks on your gym run, these apps are here to serve. Let’s dive into the real MVPs of AI you can carry in your pocket.
1. Google Photos (Magic Eraser: The Chill Object Remover)
Category: Photo Editing AI
Platform: iOS & Android
Took the perfect shot on your vacay but some random photobomber ruined it? Been there. While iPhone’s Photos app still sleeps on object removal, Google Photos swoops in like a digital magician.
📸 How it works:
Pop open your pic, hit Edit > Tools > Magic Eraser—and poof, that awkward stranger in the background is gone. It’ll even auto-suggest what to remove, so it’s basically doing the thinking for you.
✨ Why it slaps:
- Built-in AI removes people, wires, signs—clean af.

Got a creative vision but no artistic talent? Same. Leonardo AI turns your words into fire visuals in seconds. Type a prompt—like “a knight in front of a burning castle” (yes, we tried that)—and it’ll whip up images so detailed it’s low-key spooky.
🎨 The vibes:
It’s giving Midjourney quality, but on your phone, for free. With 2,500+ tokens you can burn through daily (they refresh, don’t worry), you’ll be making mood boards for your dream RPG or futuristic apartment in no time.

Just walk around your object (or room), and the app turns it into a fully interactive 3D file. You can spin it, zoom it, relive the moment—basically VR but make it personal.
✨ Why it slaps:

Basically your new audiobook plug—without buying the book.
