Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Readers willing to confirm account-specific terms before evaluating the application.
Choose another approach if
- Buying from an assumed unlimited free tier or model-family licence.
- Confidential or commercial work requiring verified training, retention and output permissions.
Pricing and conditions
Current terms unconfirmed
No usable current application price, membership or credit schedule was read. The original freemium classification is retained without reconfirming free allowances, subscription amounts, currency, tax, region, term, seats, usage units or overage. Confirm these in the applicable Qingyan offer. Do not substitute Z.ai/BigModel API prices, a promotional snippet or a downloadable model's licence fee for this application.
Code, model and service licensing
This hosted application is not licensed by an open-weight GLM family's licence. The extension footer links user, advanced-mode and privacy terms, but their bodies could not be read; commercial use, input/output ownership, public-agent sharing, training opt-out, retention/deletion and local-model permissions therefore remain unconfirmed. The 2024 local-device announcement is not a current software, weight or privacy contract. Obtain the exact channel's terms and third-party rights before use; no blanket commercial, offline, no-training or zero-retention permission is inferred.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.3 score is retained; its original scoring evidence is unavailable. This documentation review did not measure performance or compare products and did not re-score it.
Overview
This listing covers the Qingyan application identified as ChatGLM, not an open-weight GLM family or the separate Z.ai API. The readable official extension page documents multi-link summaries, site search, drafting and selected-text translation/explanation. A November 2024 corporate announcement describes an Intel-device local edition with chat and long-document functions; it is historical, device-specific evidence, not proof every current app works offline. Main-app, agreement and privacy routes returned no usable body, so present quotas, model identity and broader capability claims were narrowed.

Pros / Cons
Pros
- Official material distinguishes application and extension channels.
- A dated local-device announcement makes the historical scope inspectable.
Cons
- Current price, app entitlements and legal text could not be confirmed.
- Extension or old local-edition evidence does not establish every current cloud feature or privacy claim.
Who it's for
Compare documented Qingyan extension workflows before account setup.
Research the dated device-specific edition without assuming current availability.
Bottom line
Obtain current application fees, permissions and data terms before purchase or sensitive use; the available evidence supports a narrower review, not a shutdown or open-source-service claim.
