Monica

Monica is a multi-model AI productivity assistant available as a Chrome or Edge extension and as desktop and mobile apps. It combines chat, web search, writing, translation, summarization, image generation, video generation, document workflows, coding assistance, and reusable writing templates. Monica can be opened from a web page, use selected page text as context, and provide one-click actions such as explain, translate, rewrite, or summarize. The service also exposes a separate API platform with token- and image-based model pricing, so the consumer app and API should not be treated as one subscription.

✨ Key Features

• Multi-model chat — Access multiple AI model families from one interface, subject to the current plan and model availability.
• Browser sidebar — Open Monica from supported web pages and invoke actions without leaving the current page.
• Web search — Use real-time web access for answer and research workflows where enabled.
• Writing and rewriting — Draft, expand, shorten, correct, rephrase, and change the tone of text.
• Writing templates — Use more than 100 templates for common writing and productivity tasks.
• Translation — Translate selected text or whole web pages for bilingual reading and editing.
• Summarization — Summarize web pages, videos, and supplied documents.
• Document and PDF work — Upload or work with documents and use AI to extract, explain, and summarize content.
• Image creation and editing — Generate images and use model-dependent image tools with advanced-credit consumption.
• Video generation — Access video-generation workflows where the selected Monica model and plan support them.
• Coding assistance — Use chat and model access for coding questions and development support.
• AI PowerUP and bot tools — Use specialized assistants and task-oriented tools for recurring workflows.

💳 Pricing

• Free — $0; the official credit rules list 40 basic queries per day, no advanced queries, and no monthly advanced credits. Image generation is available only as a limited trial in the cited rules.

• Max — Paid subscription; the official rules list unlimited basic and advanced queries plus 4,500 extra advanced credits per month. Max and Ultra include 1,600 unrestricted advanced-model queries and 12,000 unrestricted basic queries per month; after that quota is depleted, query frequency is limited to 100 per day.
• Ultra — Paid subscription; the official rules list unlimited basic and advanced queries plus 20,000 extra advanced credits per month, with the same 1,600 advanced / 12,000 basic monthly threshold and subsequent 100-per-day frequency limit described for Max.
• Extra advanced credits — 4,000 credits for $10, 12,000 for $30, or 40,000 for $100 according to the official credit rules.

The current public help page exposes plan quotas more reliably than a single static consumer price table, and checkout can show localized or annual offers. Confirm the current billing amount, trial, renewal, device limit, and feature availability at checkout. Monica API is a separate usage-priced service; its official documentation lists per-million-token chat prices and per-image or per-operation prices.

Monica processes page content, prompts, uploaded files, and possibly connected account data. Check extension permissions, document and conversation retention, model-provider terms, advanced-credit consumption, and the plan's privacy controls before using confidential information. Review generated translations, summaries, code, and media before relying on them.
