Prices may change. These are correct as of 8 Nov 2026. Please confirm on the vendor's own page before you pay.

Unverified: Sources disagree. The pricing page text contains two different Pro figures ($39 and $49 per user per month, billed yearly). An older vendor page lists Plus at $10 yearly or $12 monthly, and Pro at $42 yearly or $49 monthly. Month-to-month prices are not confirmed.

Free plan

Free plan. Unlimited paper search and summaries; limited use of the Research Agent and Reports.

"Not recorded" means we did not find that price, not that it is free. Prices exclude tax and can differ by country.

Where it may fit

  • Finding and summarising academic papers
  • Literature reviews on higher tiers

Taken from what the vendor says the tool does. We have not tested it.

What to watch

  • Since 30 Jun 2026 usage is a shared monthly pool instead of fixed workflow counts.
  • Academic discounts exist; the help centre says there is no free academic access.
