Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Codex AI at none against Summary's shown. Codex AI also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 12). Summary's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
