Pricing
- Pricing model
- Freemium
One plan, monthly or yearly, with yearly advertised as 33% cheaper and an 'Early Bird 2026: 50% off' banner. The paid tier includes 2,000 AI credits/month, unlimited digests and a personal newsletter address. The figure itself is drawn by an animated digit reel rather than text, so no number was legible; /pricing returns 404 and the plan block lives on the homepage.
Use tool ↗About Summate
Summate collapses subscription overload into a single briefing. You get a dedicated Summate inbox address to redirect newsletters to, add blogs and YouTube channels, then choose how often a digest arrives — by email or on the web. Each item gets a short AI summary plus bulleted takeaways, and you can save or open the original. It ships digest templates, a browser extension and a metered pool of AI credits. The team describes itself as three people, bootstrapped, with the founder writing under the name Raduan and arguing openly that they optimise for less time spent in the product. The changelog shows a v2.0 rebuild and self-serve onboarding landing in September 2025.

Pros & cons of Summate
A focused answer to a real problem — the pile of newsletters and channels you subscribed to and never read. The dedicated inbox address keeps them out of your main mail, and the summaries carry takeaways rather than a bare paragraph. It is three people with no company entity published, and the price is literally unreadable without JavaScript, both of which cap how much you should build on it.
Pros
- Dedicated Summate inbox address keeps newsletters out of your primary mailbox
- Summarises YouTube alongside newsletters and blogs in the same digest
- Digest delivery schedule and templates are user-controlled
- Public changelog documents a v2.0 rebuild and self-serve onboarding in September 2025
Cons
- The price is rendered as an animated counter, so it cannot be read without running the page
- The /pricing route 404s; the only plan information is a block on the homepage
- No company entity, address or jurisdiction is published anywhere
- AI credits are metered at 2,000/month with no stated cost per extra credit
Best for
- People subscribed to more newsletters than they can read
- Following YouTube channels for information rather than watching them
- Anyone who wants one scheduled briefing instead of a constant drip
Not for
- Teams needing shared digests or seat management
- Sources that need authenticated access — it works from public feeds and email
Watch out: An 'early bird' discount that ends on a date is a rate you may lose on renewal — check what the standard price becomes.
