Overview
Researchers can build collections, run citation alerts, connect via MCP or API, and pull patents, clinical trials and grants on higher tiers. Self-serve Basic and Pro plans are shown billed yearly, with Pro adding API access and larger MCP and collection limits; Enterprise is custom for universities and organizations. A 7-day free trial auto-converts unless cancelled. Limitation: the pricing cards emphasize yearly billing and do not offer month-to-month billing as a selectable option, so monthly cadence still needs a manual check. Answers still require scholarly judgment; Scite is an aid, not a substitute for reading primary sources.

Limitations
No permanent free plan (7-day trial). The pricing page shows Basic and Pro billed yearly and does not list month-to-month rates, so billing details need a manual check. Enterprise custom. Heavy API/MCP use may need sales.
