What our research says

Consensus

Useful when you want to know what a body of literature actually concludes rather than reading one paper at a time, but it orients you, it does not replace reading them.

Pros

  • Every answer is tied to specific papers with study design and sample size
  • Free tier is a standing plan rather than a time-limited trial
  • The yes-or-no consensus meter is a fast orientation device
  • Covers a very large index of peer-reviewed literature

Cons

  • Summaries can flatten real disagreement between studies into false consensus
  • Coverage skews to indexed English-language biomedical work
  • Pricing cannot be verified from outside; the site blocks automated access
  • Free allowance of the deeper analyses runs out quickly in real use

MyReport

A cheap, narrow report writer from a small Madrid team, priced per report rather than per seat, which suits people who need a handful of long documents a month. Anyone doing serious literature work should use a research-native tool instead.

Pros

  • Credit packs valid six months mean you can buy without a subscription
  • Word limits are stated per tier rather than left vague
  • Integrations are included from the $6.99 Professional plan, with extra reports at $1 each

Cons

  • Very small vendor with little public track record; longevity is a real risk
  • Free allowance is a one-month trial, not a standing free tier
  • Citation quality depends on generic web search rather than a curated corpus
  • The Business tier with the REST API cannot be bought yet; its button reads Coming Soon

Which one fits

Choose Consensus if you need

  • Checking whether a specific claim has support across published studies
  • Clinicians and students orienting quickly in an unfamiliar literature
  • Anyone who wants citations attached to every summarised claim

Choose MyReport if you need

  • Consultants or students who need a formatted, referenced draft to edit down
  • Occasional market or background reports where per-report pricing beats a subscription
  • Non-English work, since the interface covers six languages
