Eightify is a Chrome extension and phone app that summarizes YouTube videos into key points. But it only works on YouTube, its own site blocked our reader so no price could be read, and the Chrome Web Store page gives a 7-day trial and in-app purchases with no figure. - **Value for money: C.** No price could be read: the site answered every request with a Cloudflare block, and the store page names in-app purchases without a figure. With nothing to compare, it sits at C. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 7-day free trial of the Chrome extension, per its store listing. The listing does not say if a card is needed, and there's no free plan on record. - **Features: C.** Video summaries, customizable insights, transcripts and a top-comments overview. A focused tool that does one job on one site, and the listing doesn't describe summarizing PDFs or web pages. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. Install the extension and press a button on a video. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Chrome extension, plus iOS and Android under one account per the listing, though the app store pages weren't read. Only YouTube is listed to connect. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from the Chrome Web Store listing on 12 November 2026. The vendor's own site blocked our reader, so we carried on from its Chrome Web Store listing. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among AI research tools - Eightify's GPA of 2.4 is higher than 19 of the 49 other AI research tools we grade, and level with 13. - It stands best on ease of use (B, above 29 of 49) and worst on features (C, above 1).

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
