Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 69 other AI research tools we grade
EvidenceHunt is an AI platform for searching medical literature, clinical guidelines and publisher content, aimed at physicians, clinical researchers, market access and medical affairs teams. Users ask questions in chat or run PICO and Boolean searches in PubMed, and organizations can add document processing, data extraction and systematic reviews.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Evidence Hunt, taken from its own pages and our grades.
PICO and Boolean searching asks for some research know-how.

The report card
Best for medical literature search with cited answers
EvidenceHunt answers clinical questions with cited evidence and runs PICO and Boolean PubMed searches. Free chats use low-cost models with only 3 Pro-quality questions, and systematic review and document search are paid add-ons on top of Pro.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Basic is free with low-cost models and 3 Pro-quality questions, PubMed search and history, and Pro has a 7-day trial. |
| Features | C | Chat, PICO and Boolean search, evidence signals, open-access full text and a table builder. Systematic review, extraction and document search are paid add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. PICO and Boolean searching asks for some research know-how. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with an API as an add-on. Its PubMed, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar links are data sources, not connections to your tools. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
