This company is all over the place with inconsistency!

Went to do the deal for $10/$17 mentioned here, opened app and creates an account. In-App deal currently is less for Pro ($13 vs $17)
https://ibb.co/6wrPnZb

At same time, if you search to open website they are still promoting the Black Friday deal at $20.

Three different prices, all at same time.

In short, try creating a new account in the app for the most savings currently!
FYI on auto renewal (from website)
Our subscriptions are auto-renewable. To deactivate the automatic renewal you can cancel your subscription up to 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. The cancellation will be effective at the end of your current subscription cycle.
So... cancel immediately after signing up or anytime up to 2 days before subscription ends👍 you still have access after cancellation until year is up!
In case anyone is wondering about canceling the subscription immediately after signing up so that it doesn't auto-renew. I looked it up on their FAQ so you don't have to:

About Blinkist Auto-Renewals for Subscriptions

Does the subscription auto-renew?

Our subscriptions are auto-renewed after each billing period (yearly, monthly or quarterly, depending on the subscription you've chosen).

Please note, that if you cancel your subscription it will turn off the auto-renew and end with the current subscription cycle, not immediately.

-

Basically, it looks like you can cancel right away and still use it. To be extra safe, I'm gonna sign up with PayPal and cancel it from both PayPal's side and Blinkist. Seems like it'll be useful, but I wouldn't be able to stomach paying over $100 a year for this…

UPDATE:

I just did this and it worked. I canceled it right away from the PayPal auto payments side and still had access. I then canceled on Blinkist website and now it says my account is active with a subscription until Dec 4, 2025. It worked. Interestingly, when I attempted to cancel I got an immediate offer for 50% off next year's subscription. I declined the retention offer.

Also, apparently all subscribers get a free invite to bring a friend/family member and share the subscription. So this definitely sweetens the deal since I can share it with my spouse!

Will evaluate one year of service before making any claims that it is worth it!

Can we use chatgpt or do you have another AI which can do this better?

I had this for the past year. Useless, but not for the reason you think. The product is interesting for sure and well done overall. So what's wrong? AI. Chatgpt to create a summary and use the completely free Reader by ElevenLabs app. Highly customized Blinkist with everything you want to know with nothing you don't.
Unless one is downloading pirated or using purchased books and uploading to ChaptGPT to summarize (which Google's NotebookLM can do an even better job), IMO you won't get close to the level of summary that blinkist provides. ChatGPT doesn't have copy rights to the books to ingest those or use books for training which could do what you claim here. So, what it's doing is pulling key ideas from various articles and blogs that cover the book -- plus any hallucinations, since it's generating the content. This kind of response is neither complete nor reliable compared to what Blinkist provides, IMHO.

How does this compare to headway?
Just a matter of opinion, but I have tried out both with free trials and I liked Blinkist better. Blinkist had books I was more interested in and speakers I liked the voices of more. Blinkist also seemed higher quality in general, but I really think it's just preference if the prices are similar.

I've been using this service for a couple of years now, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the blinks feel like clickbait—like the one on Radical Candor, which kept mentioning the book's chapters but never really dug into the details. That being said, I've found some blinks to be pretty useful.

I canceled my subscription back in early October, but I was able to renew it for $13 on the app this week when they offered a 90% discount. Not sure if it's targeted, but you might want to check the app for a lower price.

This would make a great reddit post, but what are the blinks you really liked?

How? Please share if you know a proper way..

Won't you need to have the book and have to copy paste the entire book to get the summary?
