Eightify vs Summify

Eightify uses AI to summarize YouTube videos and identify key information. Its summaries include timestamps for jumping to a topic, an overview of top comments, and video transcripts; it also offers a transcript generator and can summarize transcripts. Users can shape key insights by choosing a focus, format, length, and grouping, then share summaries as links or export them. Summaries and translations are available in more than 40 languages. The Chrome extension listing says it handles videos up to 10 hours and is powered by Claude and ChatGPT. Eightify names podcasts, interviews, science and technology, business, investing, news, health, and personal growth as possible subjects. It is available on Android, iOS, web, and as a browser extension. A free plan and free trial are available. Eightify Pro costs $9.99 a month, billed monthly, or $59.99 a year, billed annually. It does not summarize webpages or accept file uploads. Eightify says it collects contact, device, and usage data and applies security measures, while noting that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

Summify turns PDFs, PowerPoint files, YouTube videos, and articles into structured insights, with options for flashcards, quizzes, and audio. Its iPhone app also accepts DOCX, TXT, MP3 or other audio, YouTube URLs, and web articles. After a summary, users can make Learn cards and quizzes; eligible plans add mind maps, audio lessons, or podcasts. The public beta has four free core lenses, including Study, while Contract and Exam Prep are paid-plan options. YouTube summaries depend on extracted transcripts, so a video needs available captions or a transcript. Summify extracts text on its servers and sends that text and prompts to configured third-party AI providers, including Groq and Google Gemini. Its privacy page says uploaded content is not sold, and the home page states that uploads use TLS 1.3 and files are processed in memory only. The service does not offer a marketed document library or long-term cloud storage product. Free allows 5 analyses/day. Scholar costs $4.99 a month and requires an.edu school email; Pro costs $7.99 a month. Subscriptions use Polar checkout and can be canceled anytime.
