Is Marqly free?

Yes. Marqly has a free tier, and you don’t need a credit card to sign up. The free plan covers the core experience: save articles, videos, and links from your browser, let AI tag them automatically, and find any save with semantic search. Pro, which unlocks the AI chat features, costs $48 per year or $8 per month, and comes with a 7-day free trial.

What you get without paying

The free tier is a working bookmark manager, not a demo. You can save pages with one click from the extension, and every save is tagged automatically by AI — no manual filing. Semantic search works too, so you can find “that video about sourdough starters” without remembering the title.

Signing up takes a minute at app.marqly.com, and because no card is required, there’s no surprise charge waiting at the end of a trial you forgot about.

When Pro makes sense

Pro unlocks chat: ask questions and get answers pulled from your saved content, and chat with YouTube videos directly from their transcripts. If you mostly save and search, free covers you. If you want to interrogate what you’ve saved — “what did that article say about pricing strategy?” — that’s the Pro tier. The full breakdown is in free vs Pro.

Trying Pro without risk

Every new account can start a 7-day free trial of Pro. When the trial ends, you drop back to the free tier — your saves stay put, nothing is deleted. Details on what happens when the trial ends.

Bottom line

Free is genuinely free: no card, no time limit on the plan itself. Current pricing is always on the homepage’s pricing section. If you’re comparing options before committing, the best AI bookmark managers of 2026 roundup shows where Marqly’s free tier stands against alternatives.
