The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-research ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A search engine with an AI model behind it. - You could not: Citation records for millions of papers. - You could not: It plugs into other products, PubMed, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar among them, and has an API.
