Description of Monica

Monica is an AI assistant from Butterfly Effect Pte. Ltd. that is available as a Chrome extension and also on the web, desktop and mobile. The homepage presents it as one place to use several well-known AI models for chat, search, writing, coding and creative tasks. In the browser it adds smart writing, translation and summaries for the page you are reading, plus chat with PDF files.

The pricing page lists a Free plan at US$0 that includes 40 accesses to basic models each day, basic model-driven writing, translation and summaries, and limited trials of image and video generation and of ChatPDF. Paid plans add advanced credits and features such as deep research, slides, an image studio and a browser operator. When we checked, the page displayed paid prices on a yearly basis, for example US$99 a year shown as US$8.3 a month, with higher plans at US$199, US$299 and US$995 a year; the monthly-billing price was not shown.

Because the monthly figure did not render, Toolsfine does not show a starting price for Monica. As with other page assistants, the extension can read the pages where you use it, so check its permissions. Paid plans also include application integrations and a cross-platform assistant that keeps the same account across the browser, desktop and phone. Higher plans raise the number of advanced credits each month, from 1,500 up to 20,000 on the top plan.
