Finds citable academic sources for a pasted essay or paper draft, with summaries and credibility checks
Sourcely takes pasted text — a thesis statement, paragraph or full draft — and returns published papers that support it, drawing on a claimed pool of more than 200 million works. Each suggestion carries a short factual summary and a credibility check, and citations export in hundreds of formats. It is built for students and early-stage researchers rather than professional literature reviewers. Access is subscription-based: free use stops at 300 characters of input, so real work requires the Ultra or Max plan. A developer API is announced for late 2026 but is not yet live.
Ultra lists at $19/month and Max at $39/month; a current promotion cuts annual billing to $11 and $23/month. Free use is capped at 300 characters of input, effectively a demo rather than a tier.
Use tool ↗A fast way for students to back an already-written argument with citable papers, and the per-source credibility check is something most rivals skip. Deep searches are metered even on paid plans, and the free version is a 300-character demo, so budget for a subscription.
Watch out: Finding sources to fit an existing claim invites confirmation bias — check that a suggested paper actually says what the summary implies before citing it.
