Glarity is a browser extension that summarizes YouTube videos, web pages and PDFs and translates pages side by side. Plans start at $7.49 a month on yearly billing with monthly query caps, the free allowance isn't spelled out, and the pricing page still names GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, so its model list may be out of date. - **Value for money: B.** $7.49 a month on yearly billing, which is inside the cheaper quarter of what AI assistants charge ($9 and under). Only yearly prices are shown, and the dearer plans carry discount banners with no end date. - **Free plan and trial: C.** The homepage calls the extension free, but the pricing page gives no free allowance and no trial, so you can't tell where the cap sits before you hit it. - **Features: C.** Summaries for YouTube, pages, PDFs and search results, plus translation and a writing helper. The listing's own notes say the model list may be out of date and the plans are capped by queries. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but it's an extension you add to the browser and start using: no setup beyond picking a plan if you hit the limit. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Opera as an extension, and nothing else. No phone app and no standalone desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Glarity's own pages on 13 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $89.88 a year. Glarity is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A search engine with an AI model behind it. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
