Use tool ↗About Pdfy
Pdfy is a chat-with-your-sources tool that is not limited to PDFs despite the name: you add documents, audio files, web pages or YouTube links to a workspace and ask questions across all of them at once, with answers pointing back to where in the source they came from. The free plan is capped tightly at five sources and fifty questions a month, which makes it a trial in practice rather than a usable free tier. Paid plans are billed in euros and were showing a standing half-price discount at the time of this check: Premium at €8.99 a month against a €17.98 list price, Ultimate at €12.99 against €25.98. The site dates its copyright to 2023.

Pros & cons of Pdfy
Taking audio files and YouTube links as first-class sources alongside PDFs is the part worth paying attention to — most competitors in this bracket handle documents only, so lecture recordings and interviews need a separate transcription step first. Citations back to the source are present, which is the minimum bar for trusting an answer. It is a small, cheap tool with a 2023 copyright and no company details, so plan for it being a personal utility rather than something to standardise a team on.
Pros
- Handles four source types — documents, audio, web pages and YouTube — in one workspace
- Answers carry source attribution rather than free-floating text
- Questions run across all sources in a workspace, not one file at a time
- Cheapest paid tier sits under €10 a month
Cons
- Free tier is five sources and fifty questions a month, which is a trial in all but name
- A permanent-looking '50% off' banner makes the real list price hard to trust
- No company name, country or team is disclosed; the copyright still reads 2023
- No API, integrations or team features are offered
Best for
- Students working across lecture recordings, slides and papers at once
- Anyone who needs answers from a YouTube video without watching it
- Light personal research where €9 a month is the whole budget
Not for
- Teams needing shared workspaces, admin controls or an API
- Large document sets — the source caps bite quickly
- Buyers who need a named vendor and a data-processing agreement
Watch out: The 50% discount is displayed as if time-limited but sits on the page as the standing price — budget for the possibility it reverts to €17.98.
