Our take
Pick Consensus if students and clinicians who want a paper-backed answer with a Pro/Deep meter. Pick Scinapse if active researchers who want trends and author maps, and will pay Pro when Free search is not enough. Skip Consensus if people who need a systematic-review screening table (Elicit) or a general cited web search (Perplexity).
