Some documents are written to be hard to read. Plainly reads them for you. Point your camera at a lease, a medical bill, an insurance policy, a loan agreement, or a letter you have been avoiding. In a few seconds you get: THE GIST What the document actually is, who it is between, and what it commits you to. Two or three sentences, no jargon. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER Every amount, date, deadline and duration, pulled out and laid side by side. Rent, deposit, late fee, notice period, interest rate, amount due. WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR The parts that could cost you. Automatic renewals, non-refundable charges, penalty clauses, arbitration terms, early termination fees. Each one explained in a sentence you can act on. WHAT THE WORDS MEAN Lessee, indemnify, liquidated damages, coinsurance, pro rata. Tap any term from your document for a plain definition. ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS "What happens if I pay late?" "Can they raise the rent?" "What if I move out early?" Plainly answers from your document, and tells you when your document does not cover it. NOTHING EVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE This is the part that matters most. Plainly runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your documents are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never seen by anyone but you. There is no account to create and no data to leak. It works in airplane mode. Every other app that does this sends your lease or your medical bill to someone else's computer. Plainly does not have a server to send it to. WHO IT IS FOR - Renters reading a lease before they sign - Anyone opening a medical bill they do not understand - People comparing insurance policies at renewal - Freelancers reading a client contract - Anyone who has ever signed something they had not fully read PLAINLY PRO Your first document is free. Pro gives you unlimited documents and follow-up questions. Plainly Pro Yearly: $39.99 per year, after a 3-day free trial. Plainly Pro Weekly: $4.99 per week, after a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Subscription terms: https://tanzil114.github.io/plainly/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://tanzil114.github.io/plainly/privacy/ Plainly explains what a document says. It is not legal, medical or financial advice, and like anything that reads text it can make mistakes. Always check anything important against the original. Requires Apple Intelligence for full explanations. On other devices Plainly still extracts key figures and flags common terms.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Consumer Goods Cloud at none against Plainly's 2. Consumer Goods Cloud also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Plainly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
