# Summary vs AI Meeting Summary

The clearest difference is rating: Summary at 4.7 against AI Meeting Summary's 3.3. Summary also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). AI Meeting Summary's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and AI Meeting Summary sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Summary holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 57K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Summary's written reviews are positive against 100% of AI Meeting Summary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Summary ships an update every 6 days, AI Meeting Summary every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
