Our take
Pick Anara if lab members who already have a PDF pile and will pay Plus or Pro for weekly usage. Pick SciSpace if students and analysts who want a research agent with literature-review chips and will pay Premium or higher. Skip SciSpace if people who want a free paper reader (Semantic Scholar) or a systematic-review table (Elicit).
