Yes, DevToolLab has a permanent free tier alongside its paid plans.
About
DevToolLab is a browser-based collection of 650+ developer tools for converting, formatting, minifying, encoding, decoding, and inspecting common web data formats. The tools run locally in the browser, which keeps input data on the client side and avoids server-side processing for most utilities.
The free offering includes the core developer tools library, the AI tools directory, and a basic URL tracker with 5 tracked links, 1,000 clicks per URL per month, and 1-year analytics retention. It also includes a webhook receiver trial with temporary URLs, 500 requests per day, and 3 days of retention. The free plan is aimed at developers who need lightweight utilities with browser-side privacy and clear usage limits on tracking and webhook features.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable, but it is capped on the paid-only parts: tracked links are limited to 5, webhook testing is limited to 500 requests per day with short retention, and support stays community-only. The closest paid plan is Pro at about $10/month billed annually, and the free tier delivers roughly a quarter to a third of that practical value, so about $3/month is a fair estimate. A credit card is not required to start, and the offer is perpetual but not unlimited.
