Best for medical literature search with cited answers

Who Evidence Hunt is for
- 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
Who Evidence Hunt is not for
- 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
Why Evidence Hunt gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro 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.
- CFree plan and trialBasic is free with low-cost models and 3 Pro-quality questions, PubMed search and history, and Pro has a 7-day trial.
- CFeaturesChat, PICO and Boolean search, evidence signals, open-access full text and a table builder. Systematic review, extraction and document search are paid add-ons.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. PICO and Boolean searching asks for some research know-how.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with an API as an add-on. Its PubMed, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar links are data sources, not connections to your tools.

Keep Evidence Hunt, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Evidence Hunt you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 54 of the 69 other AI research tools grade higher. It costs $221.21 a year.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- Citation records for millions of papers.
- It plugs into other products, PubMed, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Evidence Hunt’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
