Question 1

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a free trial. You can sign up now and get access to everything Summify has to offer. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you will not be charged.

Question 2

What happens when my trial ends?

Accepted Answer

If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged for your selected plan. If you cancel during the trial, you will not be charged at all. After cancellation, your account becomes read-only — you keep all your summaries, pods, and chat history, but cannot process new content. You can resubscribe anytime to pick up where you left off.

Question 3

How do content credits work?

Accepted Answer

Summify measures usage in transcription minutes rather than a fixed number of summaries, because a 5-minute video costs less to process than a 2-hour podcast. Each plan includes a monthly allocation: Starter 800 minutes, Pro 1,800 minutes (about 30 hours), and Max 8,000 minutes (about 133 hours). When you summarise a YouTube video, the minutes consumed match the video length. For text content like articles and PDFs, minutes are calculated based on word count (roughly 500 words per minute). Voice notes consume minutes based on recording duration. Unused minutes do not roll over between months. Your current balance is always visible in your dashboard and Chrome extension.

Question 4

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Summify subscriptions can be cancelled at any time — no cancellation fees, no lock-in contracts. When you cancel, you keep access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account becomes read-only — you retain access to all your existing summaries, pods, and chat history, but cannot process new content. You can resubscribe anytime and pick up where you left off. We also offer a plan downgrade option if you want to switch from Max to Pro or Pro to Starter instead of cancelling entirely.

Question 5

What's the difference between Pro and Max?

Accepted Answer

Pro and Max share the same core features — all 11 summary styles, unlimited AI chat, voice note transcription, PDF exports, MCP integration, and support for 130+ languages. The key differences are scale and access. Pro gives you 1,800 transcription minutes per month (about 30 hours) and 20 pods. Max gives you 8,000 minutes per month (about 133 hours) and unlimited pods, making it ideal for power users who consume large volumes of content, teams that share knowledge collections, or anyone who wants early access to new features like the Learn system and public pod publishing. If you regularly process more than 30 hours of content per month, Max is the better fit.

Question 6

Does my plan work with Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every paid plan includes MCP integration — you can connect any of your pods to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol. One pod, every AI tool, every device. Your AI gets to use your curated knowledge instead of guessing from the open web.

Question 7

Do you offer student or team discounts?

Accepted Answer

We do not currently offer a separate student discount, but the free trial gives every new account full access so students can explore the platform risk-free. Our Starter plan at $8/mo (yearly) is affordable for most students and includes all 11 summary styles, unlimited AI chat, and 800 transcription minutes per month. For teams, we recommend the Max plan which includes unlimited pods for organising shared knowledge collections. If you are an educational institution or a team of 10+ looking for volume pricing, please reach out to contact@summify.io and we will work with you on a custom arrangement. We are actively developing team collaboration features and plan to introduce dedicated team plans in 2026.

Question 8

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Summify accepts all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. All payments are processed securely through Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1 certified). We offer both monthly and yearly billing — yearly saves approximately 20% compared to monthly.
