Which one is for you
Pick Evidence Hunt if
- Fits if you are a clinician or medical affairs person who wants PICO searching on PubMed
- Works for people who want answers tied to cited studies
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: low-cost models and 3 Pro-quality questions
- Pricey if you need systematic review, data extraction or document search, which are paid add-ons
- Watch out: projects, SSO and user management are limited to Team or Organisation, sold through sales
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and the monthly-billing price was not readable
- Skip it if you want apps on your phone or desktop, as only the web is listed
Pick Undermind if
- Fits if your question is too tangled for keyword search to find the right papers
- Works for academics, who pay $16 a month on annual billing against $60 for industry
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you work in industry: Pro is $60 a month billed annually ($75 monthly), and Team is $60 a seat from 3 seats
- Tight if you're staying free and need full texts read, since free searches cover abstracts and metadata only
- Not for you if you want an answer in seconds, as a deep search takes about 2 minutes
- Watch out: the free plan's rate limits have no published numbers, and charges aren't refunded once a billing period starts
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, or writing tools, as it's a web app for searching
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAEvidence HuntFair | 2.2GPAUndermindFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | DPro at the academic rate is $16 a month billed annually, or $20 monthly, which already puts it in the dearest tenth of a category whose middle is $10. Industry is another world: $60 a month billed annually for the same Pro, five times the dear end here. |
| 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. | CFree covers chat, deep searches, reports, shared workspaces and agent connections. The rate limits are only described as standard, with no numbers given, and free searches read abstracts and metadata rather than full texts. |
| 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. | CA deep search reads and ranks hundreds of papers from a database of over 200 million, follows citation trails and comes back with a report carrying in-line citations, then chat, custom tables and alerts. Searching is all it does: no reading tools, no writing. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. PICO and Boolean searching asks for some research know-how. | BNo store rating on record, so B is the ceiling. There's nothing to configure, though: describe what you're working on in plain language, answer a few follow-up questions, and it goes off to read. Then you wait, because a deep search takes about 2 minutes. |
| 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. | BA web app, with an MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Copilot can run Undermind searches for you, and that's included on the Free plan. No phone or desktop app is on the listing. |
| Best for | medical literature search with cited answers | hard questions keyword search can't crack |

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.
