### "A No-Brainer Tool"

August 20, 2025

5.0

I can say, it helped me push through my Masters with ease. Developing my topic, LR, finding for my research gap, methodologies and others. You wouldn't find this much on other. I was a bit sad that they recently updated when I finished my Masters but will definitely come back when I return to the education world.

Pros

User interface is top notch, Easy to navigate around and the most reliable feature are the Literature Review and Topic Finder.

Cons

Mostly they are based with journal. As my course was a design based with would be great to be able to analyse anything related to architectural diagrams or analysis.

### "SciSpace premium : The Ultimate Research Companion"

May 30, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with SciSpace has been exceptionally positive. The platform's intuitive interface and robust features have significantly enhanced my research and writing workflow. The AI-powered tools have not only saved me time but also improved the quality of my output. The Premium subscription has been well worth the investment, offering seamless access to advanced features and unparalleled support. I appreciate the team's commitment to continuous improvement, and I look forward to exploring new capabilities as they emerge.

Pros

Everything! It has been an awesome experience to work on this platform. SciSpace is a cutting-edge platform that has revolutionized the research experience. What stands out most is its AI-powered research assistance, which streamlines tasks such as literature review, citation management, and content generation. Additionally, the platform's intuitive interface and features enable a seamless workflow, facilitating collaboration and focus.

Cons

Word limits in the detector tool and the paraphrasing tool can be worked upon and since I'm paying for a premium version I would like it to have an infinite (or 2000+) word limit

### "Buyer Beware of Aggressive Auto-Renew Practices for a Mediocre Tool"

September 1, 2025

2.0

Overall, the tool was 3 stars. I stopped using it as Chat GPT was just as good and more versatile. The customer service is terrible, and they provide no way to escalate issues.

Pros

The AI features were neat at first, but they are not as good as the paid version of Chat GPT. The summaries (like most AI now) are not all that accurate.

Cons

BUYER BEWARE! - This service will charge your card without providing advance notice forever unless you cancel. They have a 24-hour timeline to cancel, and if you miss it by even a few hours, they will not provide any refund for a year's membership.

### "Amazon research platform "

March 25, 2025

5.0

Overall, SciSpace is an essential tool for researchers, students, and academics looking to streamline their workflow. Highly recommended!

Pros

I’ve been using SciSpace for my research, and it has been a game-changer. The platform makes literature discovery seamless and helps in structuring academic writing efficiently. The AI-powered tools save a lot of time by simplifying complex papers and formatting citations effortlessly. What I particularly appreciate is how user-friendly and intuitive the interface is, making it accessible even for beginners. The collaboration features are also a great addition for team-based research projects.

Cons

Everything about this platform. I liked the deep review and the Ai writer alot

### "An awesome tool for researchers "

April 17, 2025

5.0

Pros

This tool emerged as a great helper for me back in 2022 when I was doing my master's and starting as an AI researcher. As a person who came into AI from the Humanities, I greatly appreciated the help it provided with reading technical papers and complex research articles. Over the years, I was really fond of how SciSpace was developing and following recent AI trends. Deep Review, one of their latest releases is a very useful tool for researchers and science disseminators as it is faster and more tailored for the academic field that other alternatives available on the market. I recommend SciSpace to anyone who has any contact with research papers.

Cons

For now I've been pretty happy with Scispace's tools, can't mention any specific disadvantages.

### "Essential Tool"

June 15, 2025

5.0

It has been great so far.. It gets my work done soo easier instead of the long traditional method and its faster

Pros

Giving true and recent references. Alsi the filtering makes it easy to navigate and makes work so easier

Cons

Maybe instead of showing papers that are not relevant. sci space should not bring it up in the list at all.

### "Overall very positive"

June 2, 2025

5.0

Overall very positive. Again, it's not perfect but I like that it provides access or links to actual articles that you can then search, to ensure that it's not "hallucinating" false, nonexistent papers, like some other AI engines. I also like the "podcast" feature, which is pretty cool.

Pros

It's really easy to use and provides actual citable/searchable references, rather than "conjuring" up ones that might not exist, like ChatGPT.

Cons

The only issue it had was minor. When I did a very specific technical search, it didn't find the results I was looking for, but instead opted to search for a different term.

### "Trying Scispace premium"

April 10, 2025

5.0

Overall experience is definitely positive: Scispace is a valuable addition to any academic toolbox, and I am considering buying a premium version for myself.

Pros

It is a practical and user-friendly platform, particularly valuable for researchers, teachers, and students engaged in academic English and language education. Its intuitive interface and efficient search capabilities are especially helpful for those unfamiliar with complex academic databases. A standout feature is the structured support for literature reviews, offering clear summaries of research aims, methods, findings, and limitations—saving time and aiding comprehension.

Cons

There exists other language support, including my native language, yet it is used mainly for translating the responses without covering the databases in the corresponding language. There is a limited coverage of humanities, and sometimes summaries are oversimplified. The pdf-to-video function did not work for me in a premium version.

### "SciSpace: My Research Angel"

April 29, 2025

5.0

True 5-Star rating experience-- very well deserved. Every researcher should have a Go.

Pros

I liked everything, super amazing tools, all very useful and instrumental to completing my dissertation. The new podcast feature is amazing!

Cons

There's not much cons that comes to mind. However, one thing that can make SciSpace far beyond all other tools will be to have a Plagiarism check and correction tool.

### "Great for Reading and chatting with Papers"

September 22, 2025

5.0

I’ve been using the free version of SciSpace to read and analyze research papers, and it has become one of my favorite AI tools for academic work. Because of that, my work productivity improved significantly.

Pros

It is an excellent tool for reading, chatting with, and summarizing research papers. It is fast, accurate, and very user-friendly.

Cons

Since finding gaps through this tool is not straightforward, I would love to see a Gap Finder feature to highlight unexplored areas across papers, making it even more powerful for literature reviews.

### "Great support Team!"

September 12, 2025

5.0

I am glad I took the subscription. It has helped me a lot in my research journey. I find my papers summarized in no time.

Pros

So I have been using the Researcher Plan for a year now. I like the platform and how easily it is to get the summary of papers. I am happy with the always quick response of the customer service team and their resolution of my queries.

Cons

Sometimes the website gets slow and finding menus and options takes a while. Some improvement on the interface would do magic.

### "Would recommend."

August 30, 2025

5.0

I used Cispace as a tool to support my studies at university. I was very happy with it and the service they provided.

Pros

Customer Service was top notch! I reached out to the service team with a query and they came back to me on the same day! Unheard of.

Cons

I forgot I had signed up and renewal was automatic. It would have been good to get a heads up about the renewal in advance.

### "Scispace for masters thesis"

June 18, 2025

5.0

Pros

Easy to use and a lot of good features to optimize your search. I think the AI could sometimes be more accurate searching for specific topics within a paper.

Cons

I don't have much negative to say about the AI. As I mentioned earlier, sometimes but probably depending on which subject your searching about, the AI could be a bit more selective searching papers with the exact topic.

### "Great but be careful when paying"

June 18, 2025

5.0

Great, because Wapp man helped me with refunding of much money. 😁😁 I can recommend it to everyone! Not so expensive to have a great papers!

Pros

Ease of use of the program and help service via Wapp. I recimmend ut to everyone because by this help you are so much faster while typing your paper.

Cons

The fact that the payment program does not warn of changes compared to the previous method of use. I thought I was paying a monthly installment and then I saw that I paid an annual one. It would not be bad if, when confirming the payment, they wrote how much more money will be debited from the account.

### "Great tool, fantastic customer service"

May 14, 2025

5.0

Happy and I regularly recommend it for other people I know doing their Masters. I also want to say I am thrilled with customer service who supported me in securing a refund when I missed the cancellation day. I was only cancelling as I have completed school as it was no longer needed. 5 stars for customer service.

Pros

Captured the info needed from articles in a way that was useful for research and completing schoolwork

Cons

I found the interface a bit confusing as to where to find certain things and I didn't really get a good handle on that or how to organize things efficiently

### "Fast Summarization, Limited for Chinese Academic Use"

May 25, 2025

3.0

I initially tried SciSpace to help me better understand academic literature and assist in thesis writing. While the tool does a great job summarizing articles quickly, I realized that genuine comprehension still requires personal reading and critical thinking. The AI writing feature, in my opinion, is not very useful. I plan to turn it off moving forward, as it tends to produce vague and meaningless text that doesn’t align with my writing goals. This might be due to limitations in handling Chinese academic writing—perhaps SciSpace performs better with English. Overall, while SciSpace is useful for initial summarization and exploration, it’s not very friendly for Chinese thesis writing. The citation formats and structure suggestions also don’t match the requirements of Chinese-language academic journals.

Pros

SciSpace can quickly analyze academic papers and generate summaries, which is quite impressive and helpful at a glance.

Cons

The AI writing feature feels superficial. It often generates generic content without truly understanding the user’s intention.

### "a psychology resource worth the $$"

May 13, 2025

5.0

Overall, I still highly recommend this service. This feels like it was made for psychology students BY psychology students. That's the best way I can describe it.

Pros

As a student new to the area of Psychology, I felt so overwhelmed by the amount of research and time I was spending trying to find relevant articles for my assignments. I was so relieved when I found SciSpace because it felt like top grades were now an actual possibility for me. I never recommend relying on generative AI services to the point where you can’t think critically for yourself. But using the support and guidance that SciSpace offers—especially as a beginner in this discipline—I can’t recommend it enough.

Cons

the ask questions feature for articles/ clarify questions are, at times, super vague and not very helpful. It can also make you believe that an article may support a point of view/argument when, if you actually read it, it does not.

### "An excellent resource for researchers and librarians!"

April 17, 2025

5.0

Overall, this is a fantastic product that allows researchers to organize content, extract information, and interact with the publication. Most importantly, this database listens to its clients and continually enhances its features on a monthly basis.

Pros

I love the organizing and content feature that allows you to extract information from the different sections of the publication, such as methodologies and findings. The podcast feature is outstanding!

Cons

I wish all of the features were free! Aside from that, I believe that this resource can be a game-changer for many researchers.
