Elicit vs Innogath

Elicit is an AI research assistant for researchers gathering and assessing evidence. Its Research Agent draws on scientific databases, academic journals, public data sources, uploaded documents, a corpus of 138 million academic papers, and the wider web. A session can use up to 20 uploaded resources, including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and JPG files. Elicit offers Research Agent sessions, Research Reports, and Systematic Reviews, and supports AI-generated claims with sentence-level citations to underlying sources. It can find up to 1,000 relevant papers and analyze up to 20,000 data points at once. Research Reports export as PDF or Word, tables as CSV or Excel, and references as RIS or BIB. Elicit runs on the web and provides an API, but API access requires Pro or above. Its MCP server connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other compatible clients using OAuth 2.0. Basic is free with limited usage for Research Agent and Research Reports; Plus costs $11 a month. Pro is $39 a month and Scale is $89 a month. Elicit states that it has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Innogath is an AI research workspace that turns questions, files, links, and follow-up conversations into structured reports with citations, visual data blocks, and branching pages. Its Deep Research mode plans a task, reviews web pages or uploaded evidence, cross-checks claims, and produces a report with references. Reports can branch into child pages that retain summaries and citations from their parent. The workspace generates a visual knowledge map, and its canvas supports flowcharts, mind maps, timelines, charts, and comparison matrices. A rich-text Notebook supports project writing, and reports can be exported as PDF, Markdown, or DOCX. Supported uploads include PDFs, CSVs, documents, spreadsheets, and images; link inspection depends on the selected mode. A free plan includes 500 credits per month, basic-depth research, Markdown export, and one concurrent research task. Pro costs $115.20 a year, billed annually, and Ultra costs $32 a year, billed yearly. The service runs on macOS, Windows, and the web.
