Our take
Pick Consensus if students and clinicians who want a paper-backed answer with a Pro/Deep meter. Pick Litmaps if students and literature reviewers who think in citation neighborhoods. Skip Consensus if people who need a systematic-review screening table (Elicit) or a general cited web search (Perplexity).
