Now I Get It! charges per paper. Credits cost $3.00 for one, $12.50 for 5 ($2.50 each), $35.00 for 15 ($2.33 each) and $105.00 for 50 ($2.10 each). No free tier was seen, purchases are final and non-refundable, sign-in is required and uploads are limited to about 20 MB. Credit cost is shown for approval before translating, and long papers may cost more credits. Prices checked on 2026-10-02.
The alternatives all offer a way in without paying per document. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) has a free option, though no starting price is stated in our data. ChatGPT Plus is $20 per user per month and Claude Pro is $20 per user per month, both with free tiers and stated usage limits. A subscription beats credits if you read many papers; credits win if you read a few.
