Pricing & limits

AI Research Tool Pricing

AI research tool prices run from free tiers to about $200 a month for heavy users, and team plans charge per seat. The headline price matters less than the usage cap that comes with it. Compare the plan that includes the feature you need, then check its limits.

Free AI Research Tools Compared

Several AI research tools have free tiers, but each limits research in a different way. Claude Free has usage limits and no Research feature, while Gemini Free lists Deep Research with compute-based limits. Elicit Basic is free for paper search. Pick the free tier that fits your task, then test its limits.

AI Research Tool Limits

Most AI research tools cap usage with reset windows, monthly credits or paper counts, and few publish a clear report limit. Claude uses five-hour and weekly windows, Elicit uses paper screening counts, and Scite uses monthly credits. Find the cap that matches your work before you pick a tool.
