I asked ChatGPT and Gemini to find the best free alternatives to things I pay for — these 7 recommendations worked the best
I explained my favorite things to ChatGPT and Gemini, then told them to find me free alternatives to the paid options I use for those interests—these were the best finds.
During my exploration of the PS5's streaming apps, I stumbled upon a feature called "Live TV on PS5." This complimentary feature allows me to watch movies, TV shows, anime, and gaming-related content, albeit with mandatory ads and tracking of upcoming content. After a few episodes of Death Note and Hunter x Hunter, I pondered finding alternative free methods to enjoy my hobbies and interests.
To pursue this thought, I asked ChatGPT and Gemini for recommendations, and both suggested numerous alternatives to the paid options.
ChatGPT recommended four options: building a retro gaming museum with the Internet Archive, reading manga for free on MANGO Plus, organizing a virtual movie scavenger hunt using free streaming services, and browsing comics via digital libraries. Gemini proposed three alternatives: streaming legal anime on Tubi and Pluto TV, accessing Golden and Silver Age comics through Comic Book Plus, and discovering webcomics on WEBTOON and Tapas. I found all seven recommendation suggestions quite enjoyable.
