Consensus vs Undermind
Consensus Pro is $12 per month billed annually, with up to 40% off for US physicians holding a valid NPI. Undermind Pro is $16 per month billed annually, Team is $15 per person per month billed annually, and its Free tier carries standard rate limits.
A resident checking the direction of the evidence on a clinical question before rounds takes Consensus and its Meter. Undermind says it asks follow-up questions, reads hundreds of papers and follows citation trails. A Casrai guide sets Undermind's adaptive deep search for recall against Consensus's yes/no synthesis, and an academic team scoping a review topic needs the first. For that team Consensus is the poorer fit, since its Meter measures the top retrieved papers and is not a meta-analysis.
Undermind's benchmark reports 85% recall of the 20 most relevant papers in 10 minutes against 38 to 50% for frontier agents with web search. The vendor ran it on 23 queries with an LLM-built gold standard.
