Murfy review
A browser-based LaTeX editor combining team workflows with AI writing and compile fixes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Murfy is a cloud-based, browser LaTeX editor for researchers and teams writing papers together. Its live preview, autocomplete, and real-time coauthoring bring drafting into a shared workspace, while comments and track changes support review. Conference and journal templates help structure papers, and completed work can be exported as PDF. AI tools assist with academic text and LaTeX, including compile-error fixes presented as diffs.
The Starter plan is free and includes unlimited projects and collaborators, comments, track changes, smart code completion, fast compilation, and 24-hour version history. Pro adds fastest compilation, full version history, unlimited compile timeout, and priority support. Enterprise adds academic writing education, organization administration, a dedicated account manager, and custom onboarding and training. The pricing page shows annual Pro at ₩21,750 per month with 25% savings; Murfy says it currently supports only Korean domestic credit cards. That payment restriction may make paid plans impractical for some international teams.
Murfy fits groups that want coauthoring, revision review, and AI help in a LaTeX-focused editor, with a free plan that allows collaborators to join without project or collaborator limits. It also offers chat, documentation, and email support, and states GDPR compliance. Teams whose work depends on a detailed citation workflow should assess that fit carefully: the product lists a built-in citation workflow, but its description does not explain its capabilities. Those needing a different payment method for a paid subscription should also consider alternatives. Solo researchers can use Starter, while organizations seeking administration and onboarding have an Enterprise option.
