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
- Users comfortable managing browser permissions and reviewing generated text.
Choose another approach if
- Work requiring a verified no-training or zero-logging commitment.
- Purchases that depend on unlimited access to a specific model.
Pricing and conditions
Current terms unconfirmed
The homepage advertises $19/month billed annually and 102 free queries/day; those are published claims, not a confirmed checkout quote or proof every request costs one query. The $ ISO currency, tax, region, annual total, current model multipliers, seats, add-ons and overages remain unconfirmed because the dedicated pricing route had no readable plan detail. Do not infer direct-provider subscriptions or API credit are included. For purchases from 2026-08-12, the refund policy requires a written request within three days, excludes processing/transaction and residual-usage fees and offers no prorated unused time; cancellation prevents future renewal without refunding the current period. Earlier purchases have earlier conditions.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
The extension/web service has limited revocable, nontransferable use rights; this is not a licence to platform source or underlying model weights. Privacy retains users' original input rights and disclaims ownership of their AI outputs, without guaranteeing exclusivity or third-party clearance. Enabled extension permissions can send URL/activity logs to servers; page content is processed for requested features. Policy permits model/service improvement; a blanket training opt-out was not established. User content is deleted within 30 days of a deletion request and usage data can remain up to two years, with necessary/legal exceptions. Disabling/removing the extension stops new collection rather than deleting old records; enterprise DPA availability is not an automatic consumer no-training promise.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.4 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
Merlin combines an extension and web app for model chat and work with pages, videos and documents. The homepage describes summaries, contextual replies and translation; it does not establish a guaranteed quality advantage, a bargain versus direct subscriptions or access to every currently named model. Query costs can differ by model. Its current homepage still contains older model examples, and the dedicated pricing route exposed no readable plan detail, so current entitlements require confirmation rather than carrying forward unlimited or generous-free claims.
