Evidence search with Deep Search literature reviews
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Consensus is an academic search tool with a Deep review feature for more comprehensive literature reviews. The Free plan includes basic paper search, 10 Pro messages and up to 3 Deep reviews a month; Pro at $12 gives 15 and the Deep plan at $45 gives 200. Plans are cheap, but the pricing page does not list security certifications or integrations, and the tool is aimed at scientific evidence rather than business research.
