CiteMe vs MyBib

CiteMe helps students and researchers generate citations from academic indexes and check reference details. Enter a DOI, ISBN, URL, PubMed ID, or paper title to format source metadata in styles including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE, and ABNT; more than 10,000 CSL styles are available on demand. Reference Checker compares references with returned records and surfaces DOI, year, and title differences for review. Sources can be imported from bulk identifiers, PDFs, pasted bibliographies, Lattes CV publications, manual entries, and BibTeX or RIS files. CiteMe lists sources including OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, PubMed, Europe PMC, Google Books, BASE, HAL, and arXiv. Access includes web, Chrome and Firefox extensions, a Microsoft Word add-in, Google Docs, a ChatGPT app, and an API with 40+ endpoints. The free plan is listed at free. A Thesis Pass costs $8.99, paid once for 30 days of Pro without subscription or renewal. Pro’s monthly price is not displayed.

MyBib creates formatted bibliographies, citations, and works cited for academic assignments and papers. It can build references for books, journals, websites, and videos from a title or identifier such as a URL or ISBN. The maker says it supports over 9,000 citation styles, including APA, Chicago, Harvard, and MLA. Users can arrange sources in nested folders and create in-text citations that combine sources with a page, chapter, or section locator. Bibliographies can be downloaded to Word or Google Docs, imported into Zotero or Mendeley, or exported as BibTeX and JSON. MyBib is available on the web and through free Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions. Its free plan works without an account, has no project or citation limit, and stores work on the user's device by default. MyBib Plus costs $2 per month, paid annually at $24 per year, and adds server storage and access across devices. MyBib says it mostly remains usable without an internet connection.
