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. - **Value for money: D.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free tier or free trial is shown on the pricing page, only a demo. - **Features: C.** Screening prioritisation, extraction suggestions, deduplication and reference matching. The listing shows the price unit unclear between per user and per team. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and a review has to be set up and loaded first. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or API listed.

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. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: Citation records for millions of papers. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
