Consensus Pricing
Consensus · Productivity
AI research assistant for scientific literature — answers questions with citations from 200M+ academic papers. Pricing: Free (unlimited basic search), Premium $8.99/mo (Consensus Meter, GPT-4 summaries), Enterprise custom. Popular with academics, medical professionals, and researchers who need evidence-backed answers.
In other words, Consensus is worth it for researchers, medical professionals, and analysts who need answers grounded in peer-reviewed literature with citations — not a general web AI. Free tier is genuinely useful; Premium at $8.99/mo is one of the cheapest AI research tools in market. Downside: only useful for questions that have peer-reviewed literature (won't help with product/business queries).
