The honest brief

Elicit

One of few research tools with a real systematic-review screening pipeline and structured data extraction at scale.

  • Search, screen, extract, synthesize in one flow
  • Structured extraction with custom columns
  • Evidence synthesis across large paper sets
  • Benchmarked against Cochrane reviews
  • No PICO framework or Boolean operators
  • Systematic-review features gated to Pro
  • Credit-based free tier (one-time)
  • Coverage limited to indexed literature

FutureHouse

Unlike chat-based research tools, its agents are tuned and benchmarked on scientific literature tasks — PaperQA2 posted superhuman lit-search scores.

  • Free to use
  • Specialized science agents
  • Open API access
  • Strong lit-search benchmarks
  • Narrow to research workflows
  • Accuracy not guaranteed
  • Smaller model ecosystem
  • Newer platform
