SciSpace vs Undermind
Undermind Pro costs $16 per month and Team $15 per person per month, both billed annually, and a free tier exists. SciSpace Premium lists at $20 per month, Advanced at $90 and Max at $200, with a sale to October 14, 2026 at $12, $70 and $160 per month billed annually. Its team and Enterprise plans are quote only. A four-person academic group that wants a shared plan priced before it asks the department finds SciSpace both the harder purchase and the dearer one, so SciSpace loses that group on both counts. Undermind suits an author of a scoping review who cares about recall. It asks follow-up questions and follows citation trails, though a library journal review reportedly found its search strategies not reproducible. SciSpace suits a trainee who wants searching, PDF chat and extraction under one login. Undermind also connects to Claude and ChatGPT through MCP.
