Which one is for you
Pick Glarity if
- Fits if you read a lot of long videos and articles and want a summary in the browser
- Works for people who read pages in another language and want the translation next to the original
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to know the free limits first, because the pricing page doesn't list them
- Watch out: the pricing page names GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.5 Pro, so the models may be older than you expect
- Tight if you read a lot: Standard stops at 150 advanced queries a month and Pro at 600
- Watch out: accounts are for one person, and the page says shared use could get the account suspended
- Not for you if you need monthly billing, as only yearly-billed prices were shown
Pick HARPA AI if
- Fits if you want AI on whatever page you are reading, in Chrome
- Works for people who watch web pages or prices and want alerts
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you do not use Chrome, as the site names Chrome and only notes for Brave and Edge
- Tight if you stay free: 10 messages a day and 100 command runs
- Pricey if you use a lot of cloud models, as Megatokens are metered and output costs 3 times input
- Watch out: the pricing FAQ says there are no refunds, and euros showed when we read it from India
- Watch out: scheduled commands and advanced automation are on the dearer plan

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
