A DeepSeek alternative with frontier models alongside it

DeepSeek is free and capable, but text-only and bare-bones. TulexAI includes DeepSeek V3.2 and adds GPT-5, Claude, image, video and voice in one app from $11/month.

Quick answer

DeepSeek is free or very cheap but limited to its own text models. The TulexAI alternative includes DeepSeek V3.2 and adds GPT-5, Claude Opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 Pro, plus image, video and voice generation in one polished app from $11/month — the budget option plus everything around it.
