🎌 Samuraize

A NoteGPT alternative with the features you use, for less

Click to switch summarizer Summarizer

Paste a YouTube link and Samuraize carves it into a short, bite-sized document of its key points — no need to watch the whole thing.

How detailed?Quick
Detailed is on Premium and Maximum. Deep is on Maximum.

If you're comparing YouTube and PDF summarizers, here's what Samuraize does, with no fluff, so you can judge it against NoteGPT or any other tool on the things that matter: what it summarizes, how good the output is, and what it costs. Paste a link above to try it - three summaries are free without an account, and a free account gives you a free summary every day.

What it summarizes

YouTube videos (any length, with timestamps), ebooks, PDFs up to 1,000 pages, presentations and pasted text. Long files are split and stitched automatically, so a 50 MB textbook works the same as a 2-page memo.

How the summaries read

Titled sections in the source's order, not a single blob. 14 output languages on every plan, and a detail slider from 5% to 10% on Free, up to 20% on Premium and 30% on Maximum.

Study and re-use

Every summary is saved to a searchable library with favorites and folders. From any summary: ask questions with cited timestamps, generate flashcards or a quiz, or publish it to the Bento Box on every plan (Free: a few a week); on Premium and Maximum also re-summarize it shorter or longer, translate it, export to TXT, Markdown or PDF, or have it read aloud.

Price

Free: a free summary every day. Premium: $10.99 a month or $119.88 a year (4 hours of video or 400 pages every day, up to 16 hours of video or 1,600 pages a week, detail up to 20%, channel summarizer, re-summarize and translate saved summaries). Maximum: $26.99 a month or $299.88 a year (12 hours of video or 1,200 pages every day, up to 50 hours of video or 5,000 pages a week, detail up to 30%, 1,000-page PDFs, full history). 14 summary languages and the study tools are on every plan. Daily allowances reset at midnight, your time. Nothing to buy, no per-video charges, cancel from Settings in one click.

What Samuraize doesn't do (yet)

No mobile app (the site works on phones), no browser-side summarization inside YouTube's page, and no audio upload - podcasts are summarized from their YouTube posting. If those are must-haves, another tool may fit better today.

Frequently asked

Can I move my old summaries over?
There's no importer, but summaries you make here export as Markdown, so nothing you create is locked in.
Is there a free plan?
Yes - one free summary a day of up to 60 minutes or 100 pages with a free account (on as soon as your email is confirmed), plus 4 hours of bonus time for every friend you invite, or three summaries with no account at all.
How do I cancel?
Settings → Cancel subscription. You keep the paid tier until the end of what you've paid for and are never charged again.
