Before you choose

Start with the pricing model

Pricing models include free plans, free trials and paid plans. Check the free-plan limits and the paid starting price before you set up a review workflow.

Rayyan, Elicit and Moara publish free plans with paid options. ASReview, RobotReviewer and Universal SLR Assistant publish free plans.

Match the screening workflow

Look for screening controls that fit your review process. Compare how a tool handles paper screening and whether it includes systematic review support.

Systematicly, Sysrev and Rayyan are listed as tools to compare on these workflow fields; confirm the functions you need before choosing.

Check paper analysis features

Compare AI paper summaries with full-text analysis. A summary feature may not cover the same work as analysis across a paper's full text.

Scholarcy is listed with a free plan and a seven-day trial. Use the comparison fields to check whether its approach fits your reading task.

Plan for shared reviews

If you work with other reviewers, check collaboration seats and export formats. Confirm that the export options match the file types your project uses.

Paid entry prices vary by tool, and Elicit lists pricing per user. Review seat terms before inviting collaborators.

Choose where the tool runs

Platform coverage includes web, API, self-hosted, macOS, Windows and Linux. Pick the access method that fits your workflow and deployment needs.

If you need local control, check for a self-hosted option. If you need integrations, check for API access.
