Merlin

"First Impressions & Overall Experience with Merlin"

When I first got my hands on Merlin, I was as excited as a kid with a new toy. I immediately recognized its potential for daily work tasks, thinking "This could be really useful!" The excitement peaked when I upgraded from the free plan, especially loving the idea of no daily limits.

Daily Usage Experience:

Merlin has become an indispensable tool in my daily routine. The text generation feature is particularly impressive, and I use it almost every day.

I upgraded to Tier 2 in December 2024 to explore the image generation capabilities more thoroughly. While I don't use image generation frequently due to credit limitations, it's added another dimension to my Merlin experience. Tier 2 provides sufficient credits to experiment comfortably.

While I appreciate their proactive approach to introducing new features, I'm slightly concerned about whether this might lead to price increases, quality degradation of basic features, or stability issues.

Areas for Improvement:

The Android app's stability is somewhat disappointing. It occasionally malfunctions, possibly due to updates. However, this isn't a major issue since the web version is always available.

Customer service shows effort, but those seeking quick resolutions might find it lacking.

Recommendation: 5 Tacos 🌮

Merlin is particularly recommended for users focusing on text generation. While the free plan or Tier 1 suffices for very light users, Tier 2 is ideal for those who plan to use it extensively. It's perfect for weekend side hustlers too.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Merlin continues to evolve!
