In their own words
Jurism
Jurism is a research reference manager based on the open-source Zotero platform, with additions for legal and multilingual materials. Its desktop client supports collecting, organizing, and citing research resources. Firefox and Chrome or Chromium connectors provide a Save to Jurism option and support Jurism in Google Docs. For legal and multilingual citations, it uses CSL-M, an extension to Citation Style Language, and supports reference insertion in Word for Windows and Mac, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. IndigoBook guidance helps users enter legal materials and create automated citations with Jurism styles. The Legal Resource Registry maps jurisdictions and courts and supplies jurisdiction-specific citation abbreviations. Libraries sync through Zotero; metadata sync is free for unlimited volumes, while file storage has subscription plans. The plan for Jurism costs nothing to install. Its tools do not impose advertising, and its privacy policy says user data is not shared with third parties. Upgrading from Jurism 5 to version 6 creates a fresh profile and resets settings, including sync and language settings.
Logically
Logically is a research workspace for managing references, reviewing literature, annotating files, taking notes, and writing papers. Its AI assistant can search, summarize, and compare references across libraries, with inline citations and data sources. The reference manager accepts PDF, DOCX, TXT, MDOWN, EPUB, and PPTX files, along with URLs and DOIs. Users can import reference data from Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote in RIS, BibTeX, or CFF formats. Semantic Scholar Mode draws on a database of 200 million peer-reviewed papers, and Logically says it supports more than 10,000 citation styles. Shared libraries, invitations, and collaborator permissions support group work. The free Cite Extension inserts citations and bibliographies from a Logically library into Microsoft Word; compatibility includes Word on the web, Word 2019 or later on Mac, and Word with Microsoft 365 on Mac or Windows. Logically runs as an extension, on macOS and Windows, and on the web. Free costs nothing and includes 100MB storage with daily AI-use limits. Unlimited is listed at $12 a year, billed at $12 per user/month yearly.
