SciteReviews of scite.ai

Horrible quality references. Does not refund after being auto-charged despite not using the service that month. Way better platforms out there. Don't waste your time or money.

Watch out when using scite.ai. They charge recurring payments but do not offer a clear or accessible way to cancel your subscription. The page makes managing your own subscription unnecessarily difficult, and if you are pressed for time, you may simply give up and later find yourself charged. A very frustrating experience, and something potential users should be aware of.

Testato per il periodo di prova (una settimana), avevo dato la mia carta di credito ma fortunatamente ho avuto il tempo di rimuovere il pagamento automatico dell'abbonamento perchè, semplicemente, non trova nulla. Chiedendo di fare ricerche su un argomento specifico, che riguarda la mia specializzazione di medico radioterapista oncologo, semplicemente non ritorna nulla, o nulla di utile. Google Gemini con l'opzione Deep Research fa molto ma molto meglio.

This company is a rip off. Recurrent charges auto billed and customer cancelled same day-billed for entire year and refuses to refund. Has to refuse charges through credit card company. Company gives no warning of billing date etc. Very rude customer service. They are just after your money not considering importance about service.

The amount of delusional and completely innacurate academic references is astonishing. I tried this for a day after reading good reviews about it, but I suspect all its users don't review the output Scite generates, as its completely innacurate.

I was charged 114€ for a years plan without any notice and now they are refusing a refund, scam type of business avoid, use alternatives that are free/ dont charge you without notice.

I've used Scite_ AI to write 2 research papers, and while 1st time it was a passable experience (the topic was more general i guess), a year ago, currently I bought another sub and was utterly disappointed. The amount of "hallucinations" that manifested as fabricated quotes, and nonexistent sources (complete with DOI links!), was OVERWHELMING. Sometimes the only quotes and links you get in a whole summary are just hallucinations. Really upsetting. I had to manually re-check all of 500+ quotations and links in my 1st paper bc of readers complains after it was published, a crying shame. So.. I didn't find any way to refund my lost money but please dont sub to this, its too raw to work with. You can use Chat GPT and Gemini for research as I do now. A lot of useful features here, great potential - but not yet, not yet.

Not useful at all for academic research. You are better off just using Google Scholar or for a paid version Elicit. Asked for a refund. Refused to consider even a partial on a yearly subscription.
