Our take
Pick SciSpace if students and analysts who want a research agent with literature-review chips and will pay Premium or higher. Pick Undermind if academics and R&D teams who want a literature pass before they open the PDFs. Skip SciSpace if people who want a free paper reader (Semantic Scholar) or a systematic-review table (Elicit).
