How to read this page: “Free tier” means you can use it free with limits, then pay for more.
“Your own PC” tools need a gaming graphics card (see each card's hardware line) but cost nothing to run.
“Rented GPU” means borrowing a powerful cloud computer by the hour.
Skill levels: Beginner = just type and go,
Intermediate = some setup or learning,
Advanced = comfortable installing software and tweaking settings.
