Summify vs TLDR This

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.

TLDR This summarizes articles and other text, with inputs ranging from a webpage address or pasted text to PDF, DOC and DOCX files up to 25 MB. Its AI generates concise summaries, while article extraction can identify the author, date, title, related images and estimated reading time. Browser extensions summarize webpages in one click, and a PDF chat feature lets students, researchers and professionals ask questions about research documents. Other tools paraphrase text in different voices and styles, filter weak arguments and speculation, and surface relevant points. A reading view removes ads, popups, graphics and other online distractions. The service also provides API access through a link to RapidAPI. TLDR This has a free plan and paid plans, including Starter at $4 a month. The Free plan includes unlimited basic summaries, 10 advanced AI summaries and up to 10 paraphrases as one-time allowances. The service says uploaded files are not opened unless requested and personal information is not sold to third parties. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest; deleted data is purged within 30 days.
