Read your YouTube instead of watching it. The Digest turns videos and podcasts from the channels you follow into articles you can read in a few minutes. Key takeaways first, then the write-up, then chapters you can jump between — so a 40-minute video becomes a 5-minute read, and you keep the part you actually wanted. WHAT IT DOES • Every new video from your channels, rewritten as an article • Key takeaways up top, with timestamps into the moments they came from • Chapter contents — read only the part you care about • Podcasts too: 100+ shows across investing, business, technology, health, history and more • Connect YouTube to bring your subscriptions across, sorted into playlists automatically • Unread and Read, like a mailbox. Swipe to file. • A running count of the hours you did not spend watching BUILT FOR READERS Follow other readers, and send them an article — or a single line from one — straight into a conversation. Share to Messages, WhatsApp or Instagram in a tap. FREE AND PREMIUM Read three articles a day and follow three channels for free. Premium removes both limits, unlocks search across every channel we cover, and imports your YouTube subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: viaSocket at none against The Digest's 6. viaSocket also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). The Digest's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
