Is Medly AI free?

Yes. Medly AI has a free plan with no end date, and you don't need a card to sign up. Lessons, notes, textbooks and flashcards have no daily limit, and every day you get 5 marked exam questions, 20 AI tutor messages and 1 uploaded paper for marking.

Paid plans cost £24.99 a month or £180 a year and remove those daily limits.

What does the Medly AI free plan include?

Limits checked on 1 November 2026. We adjust them based on how students use Medly, and we keep this page up to date.

Your limits reset each day. If you run out, lessons, notes and textbooks stay open until they do. Homework your teacher sets through Medly doesn't count towards your limits.

Is Medly a free trial?

The free plan isn't a trial: it has no end date, so you can use it for as long as you like before you decide whether to pay. We replaced our old 3-day trial with our free plan on 3 March 2026.

We found that three days wasn't enough to build a study habit, and students lost access just as they were getting started. Revision works better a little at a time, so we'd rather you used Medly for a short while every day.

If your trial ended before March 2026, your account is active again on the free plan. Log in to pick up where you left off.

Why are some features limited?

AI marking and tutoring generate a new response for each answer or message, which takes more computing resources than opening a lesson. Daily allowances let us include these features in the free plan, while lessons, notes and textbooks remain available without daily limits.

Medly AI pricing: what do paid plans add?

Paid plans remove the daily limits on marking, tutoring and uploads, and they open the AI tutor inside lessons, textbooks and flashcards.

Any current offers will be reflected in the price shown at checkout, so you can check the total before subscribing. A paid subscription must be purchased by someone over 18. If you're considering an upgrade, take a read of our guide to whether Medly AI is worth it.

How does Medly compare with other free AI tutors?

Free AI tutors vary in how much marking they offer, whether they work with your exam board and how long free access lasts. Medly combines exam-board-specific practice and marking with lessons and notes you can use without a daily limit.
