Best for AI screening for systematic reviews
Laser AI prioritises screening, suggests data extraction and removes duplicates for systematic reviews, with a human checking each step. It costs $3,000 a project or $3,000 a year and is bought through the vendor, with no free tier or trial shown. That price is out of reach for most students.
Who Laser AI is for
- Fits if you run reviews for a research organisation with budget
- Works for teams who want unlimited users on one project
Who Laser AI is not for
- Pricey if you are a student or solo, at $3,000 a project or a year
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as no free tier or trial is shown, only a demo
- Watch out: the page labels the $3,000-a-year plan Per user in one view and Team in another
- Watch out: every plan is bought by contacting the vendor, with no self-serve checkout
Why Laser AI gets a 1.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$3,000 per project for up to 18 months, or $3,000 a year, which is about $250 a month. Unlimited users on a project helps a team, but the category's dearest tenth starts at $23.
- FFree plan and trialNo free tier or free trial is shown on the pricing page, only a demo.
- CFeaturesScreening prioritisation, extraction suggestions, deduplication and reference matching. The listing shows the price unit unclear between per user and per team.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and a review has to be set up and loaded first.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations or API listed.

Keep Laser AI, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Laser AI 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: 69 of the 69 other AI research tools grade higher. It costs $36,000 a year.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- Citation records for millions of papers.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Laser AI’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.
