ScreenFeel vs Monica

Monica is the closest rival on price. It is a tab-reading sidebar, so the comparison comes down to whether you need to capture and keep pixels.

Monica: A browser AI sidebar with a large free allowance and a low paid entry price. Paid from $8.30/mo — Pro tier billed annually; higher tiers were advertised at $16.60 and $82.90. Free tier: Around 40 basic queries a day. Researched in August 2026.

	ScreenFeel	Monica
Can it see your screen?	Yes — a region, an element, the visible tab, a full scrolling page, or any window on your desktop.	It reads the current tab. No region, element, full-page image or desktop window capture.
Where do captures live?	In your browser, in IndexedDB. There is no server-side gallery to breach, because none was built.	Cloud-resident.
What does the AI provider keep?	Nothing. Lenses run on open-weight models under zero data retention, and a build check fails if a configured model is not marked private.	Standard commercial AI terms.
Annotate and redact before sharing?	Eleven-tool editor. Redaction is flattened into the exported pixels, not a removable overlay.	No screenshot annotation or redaction editor.
Searchable history of what you captured?	Yes — full-text search across titles, tags and text read out of the images, all local.	Chat history rather than a searchable capture library.
Tools for live screen sharing?	Cursor glow, spotlight boxes and arrows drawn locally, plus a warning when your other tab titles are about to be exposed.	None.
Price	€9.99/mo, or a free tier that runs every lens.	From $8.30/mo annually as researched in August 2026.

When Monica is the better choice

If you want a general chat sidebar for reading and writing across the web at the lowest price, Monica is cheaper than ScreenFeel and much broader. It simply cannot photograph anything.

Try it without deciding

Capture, editing, redaction, the library and the presenter tools work with no account at all, and the free plan runs every lens. Nothing here needs a card.
