How does PlugMonkey handle privacy and data?

PlugMonkey extensions process data locally in your browser by default; data is not transmitted to PlugMonkey servers unless explicitly required for a specific feature (and disclosed).

FAQ

Free vs Pro: What Do You Get with ReadMonkey Pro?

Quick Answer

ReadMonkey Pro's free tier covers 25 saves/month, 5 tags, 2 highlight colors, and JSON export — a real read-later tool, not a crippled demo. Pro removes every cap: unlimited saves and tags, all 5 highlight colors, inline notes, Markdown/HTML/CSV export, and full-text search. Pricing is $6.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 one-time lifetime — which is below a single year of Pocket Premium's historical $44.99/year and is yours forever, with no vendor-cloud dependency.

Free tier: 25 saves/month, 5 tags, 2 highlight colors, JSON export, title + tag search, all themes — no account required.
Pro tier removes every cap: unlimited saves and tags, all 5 highlight colors, inline notes, Markdown/HTML/CSV export, full-text search.
Pricing: $6.99/mo, $29.99/yr (saves ~64% vs monthly), or $49.99 lifetime — paid once, no renewals.
Both tiers share the identical zero-tracking, Chrome-storage architecture. Privacy is the foundation, not a paywalled feature.

ReadMonkey Pro Free Tier

The free tier of ReadMonkey Pro is not a crippled demo — it is a genuine read-later tool with real utility. You can save articles, read them in a distraction-free view, highlight text, organize with tags, and export your data. The free tier is designed for casual readers who save a handful of articles each week.

25 saves per month — Resets at the start of each calendar month
5 tags — Create up to 5 custom tags for organizing your library
2 highlight colors — Yellow and blue for marking important passages
JSON export — Export your full library or individual articles as structured JSON
Title + tag search — Search your library by article title and assigned tags
All themes and fonts — Full access to light, dark, and sepia themes with adjustable typography
No account required — Install and start using immediately, no sign-up needed

ReadMonkey Pro Paid Tier

The Pro tier removes all limits and adds features designed for power readers — researchers, students, professionals, and anyone who saves content regularly. If you find yourself hitting the 25-save cap or needing more than 5 tags, Pro is the upgrade.

Unlimited saves — No monthly cap, save as many articles as you want
Unlimited tags — Create as many tags as your organizational system requires
All 5 highlight colors — Yellow, blue, green, pink, and purple
Inline notes — Attach text notes to any highlighted passage for context and commentary
Markdown, HTML, CSV export — In addition to JSON, export in formats compatible with Obsidian, Notion, spreadsheets, and more
Full-text search — Search across the complete text of all saved articles, not just titles and tags
Priority customer support — Faster response times from the support team

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Here is a direct comparison of every feature across the two tiers so you can see exactly what changes when you upgrade.

Monthly saves — Free: 25 | Pro: Unlimited
Tags — Free: 5 | Pro: Unlimited
Highlight colors — Free: 2 (yellow, blue) | Pro: 5 (yellow, blue, green, pink, purple)
Inline notes — Free: No | Pro: Yes
Export formats — Free: JSON | Pro: JSON, Markdown, HTML, CSV
Search — Free: Title + tags | Pro: Full-text across all articles
Themes and fonts — Free: All | Pro: All
Offline reading — Free: Yes | Pro: Yes
Privacy (no tracking) — Free: Yes | Pro: Yes

Who Should Upgrade?

The free tier works well for readers who save fewer than 25 articles a month and use basic highlighting. Consider upgrading to Pro if you fit any of these profiles.

Researchers and academics — You save more than 25 articles per month and need full-text search across your library
Students — You need all 5 highlight colors to color-code by topic and inline notes for exam prep
Content curators — You need Markdown or CSV export to feed articles into newsletters, knowledge bases, or team tools
Heavy readers — You save content daily and need unlimited tags to keep a large library organized. See How Many Articles Can ReadMonkey Pro Save? for storage details.
Knowledge workers — You want to export highlights separately for research summaries or meeting notes

Pricing Options

ReadMonkey Pro offers three pricing plans, all with the same full Pro feature set. The only difference is the billing cycle. Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Monthly — $6.99/month — Best for trying Pro or short-term projects. Cancel anytime.
Yearly — $29.99/year — Saves 64% compared to monthly billing ($2.50/month effective). Renews annually.
Lifetime — $49.99 one-time — Pay once, use forever. No renewals, no recurring charges. The most popular option.

Is the Pro Upgrade Worth It?

If you regularly hit the 25-save limit or find yourself wishing for more highlight colors and full-text search, Pro pays for itself quickly. The lifetime license at $49.99 is less than the cost of a year of Pocket Premium ($44.99/year) and you own it forever. For researchers and students who save dozens of articles per week, the unlimited saves alone justify the cost. And since both tiers use the same privacy architecture with zero tracking, upgrading is purely about unlocking more capability — not giving up any privacy.
