SciteReviews of scite.ai

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.

Underwhelming overall -after it coming highly rated because it shows results with extracts from the papers which was a strength - but I didn't find it particularly accurate and the search engine not particularly sophisticated. I had to resort back to the usual databases like CINAHL.

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.

I had an issue, about my payment. And it was resolved with in minutes. 100% rating.

An absolute waste of money. Tool comes up with imaginary statements that are completely unrelated. ChatGPT could have done a better job. STAY AWAY.
