Free tools vs. premium AI & cloud tools

tomai.uk splits every tool into two lanes so you can choose what fits your task.

Free tools

Free tools run entirely in your browser. No account, no upload, and no credits are needed. They are best for quick conversions, formatting, calculations, and small edits where privacy and speed matter most. Your files and data never leave your device.

Premium AI & cloud tools

Premium tools use server-side AI models or FFmpeg pipelines on our VPS. They handle heavier work such as video compression to a target size, AI image upscaling, vocal separation, and document translation. These cost credits because they consume server CPU and sometimes third-party APIs.

How to choose

Start with a free tool if one exists for your task. Move to a premium tool when the job is too large, too slow, or impossible to do in the browser. Every new account receives one-time free credits that never expire; paid Pro/Max plans add more.
