The right alternative depends on what you want to do with the material. Glasp’s free plan sets monthly and daily limits, while Pro and Unlimited have no prices specified here; its stated platforms are mobile apps and web. The options below range from transcript and note-making tools to desktop highlight editing and an iOS app focused on captioned long-form video. Compare supported sources, caption requirements, exports, privacy details, device availability and free-plan limits. A tool built around your preferred workflow may suit you better, even if it does not cover all of Glasp’s video, PDF and audio uses.
