Pros and cons

Genspark

Pros

  • Covers slides, sheets, docs, research, chat, image and video in a single workspace.
  • Uses 30+ models, so users are not tied to one provider.

  • Native iOS app with a 4.7 rating on the App Store.
  • Heavily funded, with a reported $275M raise in November 2025.

Cons

  • Credit-based billing is hard to predict: video generation can use close to 1,000 credits per attempt, and credits reportedly do not roll over.
  • Trustpilot reviewers report unexpected charges, credits consumed by failed tasks, and slow or automated refund support.
  • Pro costs $249.99 per month, a large jump from Plus at $24.99.
  • Public pricing and documentation could not be accessed without signing in, and no public API was found.

Gemini Notebook

Pros

Cons

  • Works from the sources you add and is not built for live web news search
  • Higher limits require a Google AI subscription; Ultra starts at $99.99 per month
  • The cloud computer for code execution started with Ultra and Workspace AI Ultra Access customers, with Pro rollout still described as upcoming
  • No public API for the consumer product, and the renamed brand can make older guides and app listings confusing
