How we grade them
| 2.0GPAEvidence HuntFair | 2.4GPASciSpaceFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is EUR 16.50 a month on yearly billing, between the $14 that starts the dearer quarter of research tools and the $23 of the dearest tenth. | CPremium is $12 a month billed annually, or $20 monthly, the middle of this category. That buys 1,200 credits and 4 tasks at once. The next step is a big one: Advanced at $70 for 10,000 credits. These figures come from an archived copy of the pricing page captured on 30 September 2026. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free with low-cost models and 3 Pro-quality questions, PubMed search and history, and Pro has a 7-day trial. | CA free tier is reported by other listings, but SciSpace's own site turned automated readers away, so what it includes couldn't be confirmed on a SciSpace page. We'd sign up and look before planning a project around it. |
| Features | CChat, PICO and Boolean search, evidence signals, open-access full text and a table builder. Systematic review, extraction and document search are paid add-ons. | BLiterature Review answers from more than 270 million papers with references, Chat with PDF explains one paper, Extract Data pulls the findings out of several at once. Add agents, an AI writer, a paraphraser and a citation generator with 2,300+ styles and the whole job is covered. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. PICO and Boolean searching asks for some research know-how. | CNo store rating on record, and credits are the thing you have to keep in your head: every plan meters the agents by a monthly allowance and caps how many tasks run at once. Asking in plain language, or highlighting a table to have it explained, is the easy part. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API as an add-on. Its PubMed, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar links are data sources, not connections to your tools. | BWeb, an iPhone and iPad app, and a Chrome extension that explains highlighted text on any page and replies in 13 languages. Phone and computer, then. No Android app was found on Google Play in the US when checked, and the listing shows nothing it connects to. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
