Australian-specific pricing notes

  • Most AI subscription services bill in USD. The AUD equivalent fluctuates with the exchange rate (approximately 1 USD = 1.55 AUD as of June 2026).
  • GST: AI subscriptions from overseas providers are generally subject to Australian GST (10%) when the supplier has the obligation to collect β€” check whether GST is included in the listed price.
  • Apple/Google Play purchases: Often priced in AUD on Australian App Stores (e.g., Duolingo Max, Cleo, Frollo) β€” check the local store price.
  • Enterprise pricing: Most enterprise AI contracts are in USD regardless. Factor in currency risk for multi-year contracts.
  • AWS/Azure/GCP Australia regions: Using Australian cloud regions may have a small price premium vs US regions. Check regional pricing.

The β€œwhat can I get for free vs. what’s worth paying for” breakdown

Genuinely useful and completely free:

  • DuckDuckGo AI Chat (GPT-4o Mini + Claude + Llama; no account; private)
  • Meta AI (Llama 4; in WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook)
  • Google Gemini Flash (generous free tier)
  • GitHub Copilot (for open-source or student)
  • Stable Diffusion / Flux / Llama (run locally)
  • DaVinci Resolve base version (professional video editing)
  • Blender, GIMP, Krita, Inkscape (professional creative tools)
  • Penpot (UI design; no limits)

Worth paying for (individual use):

  • Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) β€” for daily AI assistant use; unlocks best models
  • Canva Pro (~$17 AUD/month) β€” if you design regularly; the template and AI library is genuinely much better
  • GitHub Copilot ($10/month) β€” obvious value for active coders

Worth evaluating carefully (high cost):

  • Adobe Creative Cloud ($90 AUD/month) β€” only if you use multiple Adobe apps professionally
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot ($37 AUD/user/month) β€” only if your team lives in M365 and the AI saves that much time
  • Gong (~$1,500 USD/user/year) β€” only for sales teams with meaningful revenue
