## Recommendation

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).

## Alternative to consider

Business/product research? Perplexity or You.com. Deep AI research reports? Elicit or Hebbia. Enterprise knowledge search? Glean or Hebbia.

## Vendor context

2026-09-20 MANUAL VERIFY against consensus.app/pricing (screenshot, Individual tab). MAJOR RESTRUCTURE detected: (1) tier rename Premium→Pro; (2) new tier 'Deep' added at $65/mo monthly / $45/mo annual for heavy research use; (3) Individual and Team+Enterprise are now separate tabs. Previously stored Premium $10 monthly / $8.99 annual was actually the ANNUAL rate mislabelled — Pro true monthly billing is $20, true annual is $12/mo ($144/yr). Deep tier is new. Student, faculty and US HCP discount of up to 40% off remains. Team + Enterprise pricing on separate tab NOT captured in this screenshot — flag for follow-up manual check. Verification Status upgraded to Verified based on direct source check. Today's earlier daily-refresh snapshots (Premium $10 / Team $12.99) have been corrected in Weekly Price Changes to Pro/Deep with the accurate figures.
