Finding and structuring evidence from research papers

Meet Elicit

Research assistant for finding papers, extracting evidence, synthesising findings, and structured literature-review workflows.

Search for a question, inspect the relevant papers, and organise evidence in a table with source links.

Access and pricing: Basic is free with search and summaries, but limited Research Agent and report usage. Paid tiers add export, extraction, and review capacity.

What it does well

Based on Elicit's pricing page, the free Basic plan includes unlimited search across 138+ million papers, unlimited summaries and unlimited chat with full-text papers. The paid tiers add structured work: tables with many columns, extraction from many sources and systematic-review screening.

Who gets the most from it

Researchers, students and analysts doing literature reviews. Pro is listed at $49 per user per month ($588 per year) and covers standard usage of the Research Agent, Reports and Systematic Literature Reviews, screening 5,000 papers and extracting from up to 135 data sources, with API access.

Limits to check before you commit

Basic gives only limited usage of the Research Agent and Research Reports, and the page does not state numeric limits. Scale is $169 per user per month with 5x usage limits, 30 table columns at a time, figure extraction and real-time collaboration. Enterprise adds SSO/SAML and screens 40,000 papers. Always open the source papers behind an extracted table cell before quoting it.
