Research workflow from search to cited draft
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Paperguide spans the research workflow: AI search, literature review and deep research reports, data extraction tables, and systematic reviews that scale from 1,000 papers on Plus to 20,000 on Enterprise. Plans run from free (1,500 AI credits a month) to $89 per seat a month billed annually for Evidence. It leans academic, and the pricing page raises data security in an FAQ heading without giving the details.
