Elicit wins, 7.8 to 6.9
SciSpace costs $20 a month; Elicit's academic plan is $19 a month. SciSpace answers back with an AI writing editor that drafts your own paper and adds citations, a mobile app, and support for more than 75 languages, none of which Elicit offers. Elicit goes further into systematic review work instead: it screens papers with include and exclude decisions, deduplicates references automatically, and claims PRISMA grade accuracy on its Enterprise tier, capabilities SciSpace does not have.
