We know that every reader’s needs are different. We offer two subscription plans—Essentials and Plus—so that you can choose the level of access and features that best fit your reading goals.


Whether you’re looking for quick study support or a deeper, more interactive reading experience, there’s a SuperSummary plan for you.


Essentials Plan

Our Essentials plan is ideal for readers seeking reliable, well-organized content about the books they read. With Essentials, you’ll get unlimited access to SuperSummary’s core content library, including:

  • Nearly 10,000 in-depth Study Guides covering classic and contemporary titles across genres
  • 1,000+ classroom-ready Teaching Guides packed with activities and prompts
  • 20,000+ spoiler-free Book Briefs designed for easy browsing

Essentials provides everything you need to unpack and understand the books you read, including chapter-by-chapter summaries and expert analysis of character, themes, quotes, and more.


Essentials plan pricing: $9.95/month or $3/month billed annually ($36/year)


Plus Plan

Our Plus plan unlocks everything in Essentials, plus additional features to enhance and personalize your reading experience.

Plus members gain access to expanded content formats:

  • Full mobile app access to content and tools (*note that select tools are not yet available in the app)
  • Audio narration for every Study Guide
  • Downloadable PDFs to annotate or read offline

With the Plus plan, you also get unlimited access to a full suite of interactive reading tools designed to deepen your experience with every read:

  • Ask SuperSummary, the assistant for all your book questions
  • Quizzes to help you test your knowledge and comprehension
  • Discussion Questions to spark meaningful conversation
  • Book-Inspired Recipes to fuel your next club meeting or solo reading session
  • Timelines to track key developments and character arcs
  • Book Activities to inspire engagement, reflection, and fun

The Plus plan is perfect for readers seeking format flexibility and fresh ways to engage with literature for book club, in the classroom, or for individual enrichment.


Plus plan pricing: $16.65/month or $5/month billed annually ($60/year)


Power reader pro tip: Save 70% by choosing annual billing!


Which SuperSummary plan is right for you?

Choose Essentials if you mainly want to read our Study Guides and Teaching Guides online. If you want a deeper experience, you can upgrade to Plus any time!


Choose Plus if you prefer a more flexible, interactive, and feature-rich experience that goes beyond the Guide—such as interactive tools and quizzes, audio narrated Guides, or full access to our content library and features on the SuperSummary app.
