Merlin
Merlin is a browser extension and web app AI assistant that summarizes web pages, YouTube videos, and drafts messages across Gmail, X, and LinkedIn while offering access to many models in one account. It also stores reusable knowledge in Projects for repeated tasks.
The site shows a price of "$19 per month billed annually" on the pricing panel and describes Merlin Teams (pay per team member) and Merlin Pro (individual).Is Merlin right for you?
Good for
- Founders who want fast, in-browser summarization and content drafting across websites and video with access to multiple model families.
- Provides a free allocation of daily queries for free accounts (102 queries per day).
- Installs as a Chrome Extension and opens on any website with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/⌘+M).
Keep in mind
- High-cost models consume larger portions of query allowance (e.g., GPT‑4 and some large models use 30 queries).
- The linked official pages display a $19/month billed annually price but do not clearly map that numeric price to a named plan.
- Buyers who need a clearly mapped public per-user team pricing table tied to named plans; the linked official pages show a $19/month figure but do not map it clearly to a named plan for teams.
Pricing and plan limits
The linked official pages show "$19 per month billed annually" but do not clearly state which named plan that price applies to, and other plan prices are not listed.
