Our take
Pick Consensus if students and clinicians who want a paper-backed answer with a Pro/Deep meter. Pick Humata if analysts and small teams who already have PDFs and will pay when 60 pages is not enough. Skip Consensus if people who need a systematic-review screening table (Elicit) or a general cited web search (Perplexity). Skip Humata if people who need a signed-out one-PDF chat (ChatPDF) or a paper-search agent
