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

NoteGPT

A cheap way to compress videos and readings into study material, with a usable free tier to test output quality. The catch is that everything meaningful is metered — even the plan named Unlimited caps premium credits — and the many bundled tools vary in depth.

Pros

  • Free tier without a credit card to evaluate quality
  • Covers the whole pipeline from summary to flashcards to audio in one subscription
  • Browser extension summarizes videos in place on YouTube
  • Entry price of $9/month undercuts buying separate single-purpose tools

Cons

  • Credit and quota system applies across nearly every feature
  • Quality is uneven across its dozens of mini-tools
  • The company publishes no information about who runs it or where
