The free plan gives you 5 AI generations daily. Two deep research reports monthly. 500MB storage. You can add up to 25 papers per workbook and write 2,000 AI words each month. That's enough to test the waters but won't sustain heavy research work.

Paperguide searches through 200 million papers to find what you need. Ask it about machine learning applications in healthcare — it'll analyze the 10 most relevant studies to deliver answers with proper citations. The literature review tool extracts key data from multiple papers and compares findings in whatever format you want. Pretty useful for systematic reviews.

Clinical investigators running meta-analyses will appreciate the deep research reports. These automate paper discovery. Screening. Data extraction. Tasks that usually eat up weeks of manual work. You can chat with individual PDFs too, which beats scrolling through 50-page studies looking for specific methodologies.

The reference manager supports over 1,000 citation styles. AI writing becomes unlimited on paid plans, though the free version caps you at 2,000 words monthly. Plagiarism checking only comes with paid subscriptions.

Students get 40% off, making the Plus plan $12 monthly for unlimited generations and storage. Pro costs $24 and bumps you to 50 deep research reports per month with workbooks holding up to 100 papers. Storage limits on the free tier will frustrate anyone working with large PDF collections, but it works well enough to justify upgrading.

Frequently asked

6 questions
How accurate are Paperguide's citations when it analyzes research papers?
Paperguide pulls citations straight from its 200 million paper database -- so you're getting proper citations directly from the source papers. The accuracy really depends on how good the original research databases are. You'll still want to double-check citations for anything critical, but honestly? The automated generation saves you tons of time compared to doing it all manually.
Can I upload my own PDF files to Paperguide or does it only search existing databases?
You can totally upload your own PDFs and chat with them directly. Free users get 500MB of storage, while paid plans don't have limits. This works alongside searching the database -- so you can analyze your personal research collection AND tap into those 200 million papers.
What's the difference between regular AI generations and deep research reports in Paperguide?
Regular AI handles quick questions and basic paper analysis. Deep research reports? They're the heavy hitters -- they automate the entire systematic review process that usually takes weeks of manual work. We're talking paper discovery, screening, data extraction, the works. Free users get 2 deep reports monthly, Pro subscribers get up to 50.
How many papers can I add to a single workbook and does this limit vary by plan?
Free users can add 25 papers per workbook -- which gets restrictive pretty fast. Plus plan bumps you up to 50 papers per workbook. Pro users get 100 papers per workbook. If you're doing large-scale literature reviews, you'll probably need that Pro plan's higher limits.
Does Paperguide work well for non-English research papers?
The platform doesn't specify language support for its 200 million paper database. Most academic databases lean heavily toward English publications anyway. You'd need to test it with non-English queries to see how well it handles multilingual research -- results will probably vary.
Can I export my literature reviews and citations from Paperguide to other reference managers?
Paperguide supports over 1,000 citation styles, which suggests it plays nice with standard reference managers. The specific export formats aren't detailed though. The platform works as a reference manager itself, but you'll want to check export options if you're committed to Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote.
