# Summary vs SumIt AI

The clearest difference is rating: SumIt AI at 5.0 against Summary's 4.5. SumIt AI also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Summary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SumIt AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SumIt AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 40 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Summary ships an update every 4 weeks, SumIt AI every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
