What our research says

Glasp

Glasp fits students, researchers and writers who read a lot online and want every quote kept with its source and searchable later. People who want their reading private by default, or who mostly need a full note editor rather than a highlighter, should look elsewhere.

Pros

  • Free plan keeps unlimited highlighting plus exports and Notion sync
  • Works across Chrome, Safari, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Opera and mobile
  • Each highlight keeps its source metadata, so quotes stay cited
  • MCP connector and API make the library usable from other AI tools

Cons

  • Highlights are public by default; privacy is a paid feature
  • Free AI allowances are small, especially video summaries
  • Social feed is of limited use to people who read alone

JustRecap

JustRecap's structured format, topic segments, key frames, and timestamped chapters, is a step past a plain AI summary paragraph, which matters for reviewing a long lecture or earnings call quickly. The free plan's five credits a month is thin, so regular users will land in the $7-9/month Plus tier fast.

Pros

  • Segments recaps by topic with timestamped chapters rather than one long summary
  • Captures visual key frames alongside the text
  • Translates recaps into 10+ languages
  • Free Basic plan available before any payment

Cons

  • Free plan is limited to 5 credits a month
  • Videos over two hours and non-YouTube sources require the paid Plus plan
  • Company and team behind the product are not disclosed on the site
