A side-by-side look at pricing, capabilities, pros, cons, and our editorial scores.

	YouTube Summary & ChatGPT by Glasp Agents	Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) Agents
Tagline	Chrome extension that surfaces YouTube transcripts and AI-generated video summaries alongside one-click access to ChatGPT.	Google's open-source framework for building, evaluating, and deploying production AI agents
Category	Agents	Agents
Pricing	Freemium· Basic: $10 · Pro: $25	Free· Framework itself is free and open-source (Apache 2.0). Costs come from the underlying model provider (e.g. Gemini API / Vertex AI usage) and any hosting infrastructure (Cloud Run, GKE, Agent Engine).
Model	Multi-model (GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Claude, Mistral, Gemini)	Gemini (default) plus Claude, GPT-4/5, Llama, and other providers via LiteLLM
Editorial score	6.9 / 10	—

Pros	Free with broad model choice (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Mistral) Timestamp-linked summaries jump back into the video Customizable summary length and prompts Multi-language transcript and summary support	Genuinely open-source (Apache 2.0) with active Google engineering behind it, not a hosted-only product Multi-language: first-class Python, Java, and Go SDKs — rare among agent frameworks that are usually Python-only Built-in dev UI (`adk web`) with trace inspection, event stream, and session replay speeds up debugging enormously Model-agnostic via LiteLLM — Gemini is default but Claude, GPT, and local models plug in cleanly Rich multi-agent primitives out of the box: SequentialAgent, ParallelAgent, LoopAgent, and hierarchical sub-agents Tight Google Cloud integration for deployment (Cloud Run, GKE, Agent Engine) plus native BigQuery/Vertex Search tools Evaluation harness with trajectory-level scoring is included, not a separate paid add-on First-class MCP (Model Context Protocol) client and server support
Cons	3.9-star rating reflects inconsistent reliability Premium pricing not disclosed on store page Funnels into Glasp's wider highlighting product Depends on YouTube having a usable transcript	Documentation and examples lean heavily on Gemini + Google Cloud; non-Google paths work but feel like second-class citizens API surface is still evolving — breaking changes between minor versions have been common through 2025-2026 Multi-agent orchestration primitives are powerful but the graph/callback model has a real learning curve compared to a plain prompt loop Agent Engine deployment is convenient but locks you into GCP billing and quotas TypeScript/Kotlin support lags the Python SDK in features and community examples
