ResearchRabbit vs Scite

Scite has no free plan. Basic costs $12 per month billed yearly and Pro $40 per month billed yearly, each with a 7-day trial. ResearchRabbit has a free plan at $0 and ResearchRabbit+ at $10 per month billed annually, and librarian Aaron Tay called ResearchRabbit's interface less intuitive than it could be. Scite's Smart Citations label each citing sentence as supporting, contrasting or mentioning a finding, and library guides from Calgary, Einstein and Florida State warn that the labels can be wrong and the citing passage should be read. ResearchRabbit grows a library outward from seed papers and adds Signals alerts on the paid plan. A hospital librarian checking the contested trials behind a recommendation has a reason to pay for Scite. A thesis student whose argument rests on one contested finding gets related papers from ResearchRabbit but no view of how later work treated that finding, so ResearchRabbit comes up short for that student.
