Amazing Marvin Pricing in 2026

Amazing Marvin's pricing is refreshingly simple to summarize and slightly awkward to shop for, and both facts come from the same design decision: there is one plan, it includes everything, and there is no free tier.

Here's the 2026 breakdown. Every price comes straight from Amazing Marvin's official pricing page; the feature and workflow details later on come from Marvin's homepage. Prices move — check the source before you buy.

The Headline Numbers

One tier. That's it. No Basic/Plus/Business ladder, no seat tiers, no AI add-on billed separately, no "advanced features" paywall inside the paid plan. If you're on Marvin Pro, you have all 100+ features and all 300+ settings.

A note on the month-to-month price. Marvin's page leads with the annual figure and describes the annual saving as 33%. It doesn't print the month-to-month number next to it. Backing out of a 33% saving lands somewhere around $12/month — but that's arithmetic, not a quoted price, so flip the billing toggle on Marvin's page and read it yourself before committing. We'd rather leave a gap here than print a figure Marvin didn't.

What "No Free Plan" Actually Means

Marvin's pricing page answers the free-tier question directly: not currently. There is no permanent free version. The 14-day trial is the free part.

That trial is genuinely full-access, which is the right call for an app this configurable — a feature-limited free tier would show you a Marvin that isn't the real Marvin. And if two weeks isn't enough, Marvin says it can extend the trial for you. Worth asking, because the app rewards a slow setup.

We looked at the free-tier question on its own in Is Amazing Marvin Free?, including what to do if a free plan is a hard requirement for you.

The Two Discounts That Aren't in the Checkout Flow

If $96/year is the blocker, read this part before you close the tab.

Students: 50% off. Not a checkbox — you email contact@amazingmarvin.com and ask. That brings Pro to roughly $48/year.

Pay what you can. Marvin's stated policy is that it doesn't want finances to prevent anyone from using the app, and it invites people who can't afford the standard rate to reach out. There's no published form and no advertised minimum. You email and explain your situation.

Both of these are real and both are effectively invisible during signup, which is a strange choice — the people who most need them are the ones least likely to go hunting through a pricing page's fine print.

The Refund Policy Changes How You Should Trial It

Marvin doesn't do standard refunds. Its argument is that a 14-day, full-access, no-card trial removes the need for one, and that it will extend the trial rather than reverse a charge.

Fair enough, but the practical consequence is that the trial is your only evaluation window. With a lot of subscription software you can buy, poke at it for a month, and get your money back if it doesn't stick. Not here. Plan to actually stress-test Marvin during the trial: build your real project structure, run a real week through Day Planning, turn the strategies you care about on and off. If you buy annually and quit in week four, the $96 is gone.

What Your $96 Is Actually Buying

It's worth being concrete, because "100+ features" is a marketing number and doesn't tell you what you're paying for.

The distinctive things in Marvin are the behavioural ones, and they have names: Super Focus Mode, Task Jar, Procrastination Wizard, Accountability Pledge, Spotlight, Day Planning, Pomodoro Timer, Time Tracking. Alongside those sit color coding, gamification, time estimates, recurring tasks, orbit, and work sessions.

The structural thing you're buying is that Marvin supports multiple whole workflows rather than imposing one: day planning with time blocking and capacity estimation, list-based layouts (Kanban, vertical, grid) with custom groupings, a spontaneous mode built around Orbit and Spotlight, and full GTD. Most competitors ship one opinion about how you should work. Marvin ships several and lets you switch.

Migration is included too — Marvin's site lists drag-and-drop import from 19 named services plus a generic CSV option, including Todoist, TickTick, Microsoft To Do, Asana and Google Calendar.

Is Single-Tier Pricing Good Value?

It depends entirely on whether you're a heavy user.

Single-tier pricing is great if you'd otherwise be on someone's top plan. Ladder pricing tends to put the features people actually want (reminders, calendar views, real integrations) one step above the cheap tier. Marvin skips that game — $96/year is the ceiling and the floor.

It's poor value if you're a light user. If your needs are "a list with due dates," you're paying for 300 settings you'll never open. Plenty of apps will do that for less, or for nothing.

The honest framing: Marvin's price is not really competing on cost. It's competing on fit. If the customization solves a problem no cheaper app solves for you, $8/month is cheap. If it doesn't, no discount makes it the right purchase.

Where Vyneron Fits

We build Vyneron, so read this as our pitch rather than neutral analysis. Here's how the pricing compares structurally.

Vyneron has a free plan that isn't a countdown. Tasks, notes, routines, and the Telegram and Slack integrations are unlimited on it, with storage capped at 10 files / 50 MB. AI is included for the first 7 days.

After that, instead of AI switching off, you can bring your own API key — a free Gemini or Groq key works — and keep AI running at 0% markup, on any plan including the free one. You pay the provider, not us; with a free key, that's $0. Details: Bring Your Own API Key.

Paid is Solo, $6/month or $59/year — 150 AI messages/day, unlimited voice transcription, 500 files / 2.5 GB. Above that sit Multi for shared workspaces and Enterprise for 26+ users. Unlike Marvin, there's a 14-day money-back guarantee: an actual refund, not a trial extension.

The feature difference that matters most isn't price, though. Vyneron's capture lives in Telegram, so saving a thought is messaging a bot you already have open — text, voice, or a photo with OCR. And recurring routines are holiday-aware worldwide, computed in code, so a routine never lands on a public holiday.

What Marvin does better: depth of configuration. That's not close, and we won't pretend otherwise.
