Mapify review

Basic costs US$5.99 a month billed yearly or US$9.99 monthly and adds 1,000 AI credits a month, YouTube and document summaries, editing, exports to PDF, Markdown or SVG and a slide presentation mode. Pro, at US$11.99 a month billed yearly, adds a more capable model, timestamps for audio and video mind maps, audio and image summaries, Deep Research and AI chat with your content. One subscription covers the web app, the browser extension and apps for iOS, Android, iPadOS and macOS. The main limits are that free credits do not refresh and paid credits do not roll over.
