Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.4
GPA, above 0 of the 69 other AI research tools we grade
Laser AI is a web workspace for evidence synthesis from Evidence Prime, the company behind GRADEpro. It prioritizes abstracts for screening, suggests values to extract from PDFs, and removes duplicate references. It is aimed at government bodies, life-science companies and research institutions.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Laser AI, taken from its own pages and our grades.
That price is out of reach for most students.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3,000 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $3000 per project, for projects up to 18 months.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
AI screening prioritization
A focus mode and AI ranking put the most relevant abstracts first to reduce screening time.
- 5
Data extraction suggestions
Suggests text and table values from PDFs, and reviewers validate or edit each entry.
- 6
Deduplication
Finds duplicate references after bulk uploads; the vendor cites a study showing no lost references.
- 7
A 1.4 GPA, above 0 of 69
That is against the other AI research tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Health agencies and companies running regulated evidence reviews
- Teams running many reviews who want reusable forms and libraries
- Researchers wanting help with screening and extraction time
Worth knowing
- Pricing is by project or per year at $3000, and every plan is bought by contacting the vendor.
- No free tier or free trial is shown on the pricing page; a demo can be booked.
- The pricing page labels the $3000-a-year plan 'Per user' in one view and 'Team' in another.

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 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.
