Elicit is an AI research assistant designed for academic and scientific researchers, offering semantic search across 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials. It automates literature reviews, generates research reports with citations, and extracts data from papers. Pricing starts at $10/month for the Basic plan (billed annually at $120/year), with a free tier offering limited access to core features.
Yes, Elicit offers a free Basic plan with limited access to Research Agent, 2 automated reports per month, unlimited search across 138 million papers, unlimited summaries, and unlimited chat with papers. However, you can only add 2 columns to tables at a time. Paid plans start at $10/month (billed annually at $120/year) for expanded features.
Based on the research, Elicit integrates with Zotero for importing references (available on all plans including free). The Pro plan ($49/month) and above also includes API access for custom integrations. Specific details about other integrations were not found in our research—check the official website for a complete list.
According to comparative research, Elicit is considered strong for extraction depth and validated accuracy (95%+ across multiple metrics in Cochrane reviews), but alternatives like Paperguide offer broader workflow coverage including manuscript-grade writing. Semantic Scholar provides free access to over 200 million papers (more than Elicit's 138 million) but may lack Elicit's specialized systematic review features. Elicit's main advantage is its peer-reviewed validation and dedicated systematic review workflow.
