The free version's 40 times is **shared among three basic models**, not 40 times per model. Moreover, the truly useful Claude Sonnet/GPT-5.5 only has "limited trial" with an unspecified number of times on the official website - if you want to use it seriously, you will definitely hit a wall. Its value lies in **subscribing to access all three models**, not the free quota.

2026-08-07 21:25:092026-08-07 21:25 Check: The page shows two paid plans, Ultra and Max, priced at US$82.9/month and US$16.6/month respectively, with annual billing discounts. This differs from the previous check, with more feature and model descriptions added. Source=https://monica.im/pricing
2026-07-26A major discovery was made: the official website currently offers four plans: Free, Pro, Max, and Ultra, which differs from the original record on this site of Free, Pro (US$10), and Unlimited (US$25) with verify:true status unconfirmed. The plans are as follows: Free = 40 basic model accesses per day; Pro = US$8.3/month (or US$99/year); Max (suspected to be the renamed Unlimited plan) = promotional price of US$16.6/month (33% off, original price US$299/year ≈ US$24.9/month, with no specified promotion end date); and the newly added Ultra = US$82.9/month (US$995/year, which was previously missing). It is unclear whether the monthly payment amounts are the actual monthly fees displayed on the official website or the average annual payment, and the proxy-retrieved content could not fully clarify this. It is recommended to manually take a screenshot for verification, and this has been temporarily marked as needs_review.

US$8.3 / mo (Annual plan (monthly avg.))
US$99/year billed annually (about US$8.3/month); 5,000 base-model messages + 200 advanced-model messages per month, 1,500 premium credits, 5 devices. The official site doesn't display a monthly-billed list price (2026-08-09 tested: the toggle switch had no effect)
Which Model
Basic: Claude 4.5 Haiku/Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite/GPT-5.4 mini; Advanced: Claude 4.6 Sonnet/GPT-5.5/Gemini 3.1 Pro
Usage Quota
5,000 basic searches + 200 advanced searches per month
Max Reading Time

This Plan Includes
5,000 basic searches per month
200 advanced searches per month
Available with Claude/GPT/Gemini three models
Browser extension integration
Not Included
Unlimited use of advanced models (that is, Max and above)
A large number of advanced points
What Sets Us Apart
The biggest selling point is **one subscription for all three models**. At US$8.30/month, it is more than half cheaper than subscribing to ChatGPT Plus (US$20) alone, but with only 200 advanced queries per month, it may not be enough for heavy users.
Best for: Those who use advanced models heavily every day and want to save on multiple subscription fees
US$16.6 / mo (Annual plan (monthly avg.))
US$199/year billed annually (≈ US$16.6/month), a limited-time 33% off, list price US$299/year; unlimited use of standard + premium models, 4,500 premium credits, 5 devices. Formerly named Unlimited; officially still marked as in beta. Monthly list price not shown on the official site

Advanced model with unlimited usage
Three top models fully open
Not Included
Ultra's 20,000 points
What Sets Us Apart
It differs from Pro in "200 advanced searches → unlimited advanced models". The official website is currently offering a limited-time 33% off discount (US$199 per year, originally US$299), with no specified end date. If you're interested in purchasing, you can keep an eye on whether this price difference will disappear.
Annual billing US$995/year (≈US$82.9/month), 17% savings with annual billing; unlimited use of standard + advanced models, 20,000 advanced points, 10 devices. The monthly list price is not shown on the official site
Which Model
Same as Max, with a significant increase in points
Usage Quota
20,000 premium points per month
Max Reading Time

This Plan Includes
20,000 premium points per month
Advanced model with unlimited usage
What Sets Us Apart
US$82.90/month is 5 times the price of Max, and the quota is 4.4 times that of Max. Unless you really burn through a large amount of advanced quota every day, Max is enough.
2026-07-25 Review: Still actively maintained, Chrome/Android versions received updates in both June and July, the prior paused label has been confirmed as a false positive. / 2026-08-03 Review: No updates on GitHub for 6 months, the official website has no update records in the past 30 days, community discussion is low, pending manual re‑review.
