Our review
SciSpace is an AI tool for researchers: upload or search a paper and ask questions paragraph by paragraph, get summaries, extract methods, manage citations and get writing help — cutting the cost of reading literature. It indexes large paper databases such as arXiv and PubMed.
A free tier is usable, with paid plans for more; compared with Elicit and Consensus, which answer research questions, SciSpace leans into deep reading of individual papers and integrating the writing workflow.
