AnswerThis vs Consensus

Our take

Pick AnswerThis if students and labs who will start on Free and pay Pro when the 5-project cap is gone. Pick Consensus if students and clinicians who want a paper-backed answer with a Pro/Deep meter. Skip Consensus if people who need a systematic-review screening table (Elicit) or a general cited web search (Perplexity).
