Compare the step each tool owns, the evidence it exposes, and the output it is designed to produce.
Search and screening
EvidenceGrid
Begins after paper selection. Upload PDFs or match RIS, BibTeX, and CSV records to files. Database search, PRISMA screening, and formal risk-of-bias assessment stay outside the product.
Elicit
Searches a corpus of more than 138 million papers, combines sources such as PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov, and supports auditable screening. Capacity and advanced review features depend on plan.
Applies up to twelve custom fields across selected PDFs. Each substantive cell keeps its value, exact quote, claimed page, match state, and Open page route. A failed match can be repaired at field level.
Elicit
Supports quantitative and qualitative extraction with quotes or figures. Its official workflow highlights table and figure extraction, dynamic criteria, and custom templates, with some capabilities limited by plan.
Generates reviewable themes, agreements, disagreements, limitations, and gaps from verified cells. It deliberately stops before manuscript prose. Export to PDF, Word, Excel, Obsidian, Zotero, or Notion according to plan.
Elicit
Generates cited research reports and systematic review materials across larger evidence sets. Reports can include methods, PRISMA flow diagrams, paper summaries, and search strategies. Export formats vary by workflow and plan.
10 papers per month, the core extraction and verification workflow, synthesis, reusable structures, and portable file downloads.
EvidenceGrid Researcher
$12 per month or $108 per year. Includes 120 papers per month plus one-click Zotero and Notion delivery.
