    QwQ AI

    freemium • Free
    Updated Oct 2026

    QwQ AI is a browser-based search and research assistant built around three workflows: quick Answer mode for sourced replies, a configurable multi-source Research mode, and a Finance Research mode that covers company filings and market information. Every response is grounded in live web sources with links, and results can be downloaded as Markdown for notes or reports. A notable detail is pricing transparency: the cost of each query is shown before you submit it, and there are no subscriptions or automatic renewals. It supports English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese. The honest trade-offs: AI research tools are a crowded field, and pay-per-query pricing suits occasional deep research better than constant casual use. For analysts, students and founders who want cited research without a monthly plan, it is a sensible option.
