CitApp vs Grafiati

CitApp helps students create formatted citations from links or DOIs and organize research sources on the web or through a Chrome extension. It supports websites, journal articles, books, PDFs, reports, Wikipedia, news, theses, and videos, retrieving metadata from CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and Google Books. Citation options include 17 built-in styles, more than 130 journal and university CSL styles, and custom styles. A Google Docs add-on inserts citations at the cursor and updates the reference list. The free plan imports Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote libraries and exports to Word, BibTeX, and RIS. The extension saves pages and PDFs, including files behind logins, to a project. Invite links let signed-in collaborators view and add sources. Academic Shield checks wording similarity, section fit, and citation support. Free includes unlimited in-app sources, 10 browser captures weekly, 30 Docs insertions weekly, and 10 Shield checks weekly. Pro costs SEK 99, paid once and removes weekly limits.

Grafiati is a web-based bibliographic manager for creating references and works-cited lists.

Exports include MS Word, BibTeX, and BibLaTeX. Basic features are free for registered and unregistered users. The Basic plan costs nothing and allows one bibliography, 20 references, and seven days.
