Scite, part of Research Solutions, combines scholarly search with an AI assistant and Smart Citations. It helps readers inspect how later publications discuss a finding, and offers collections plus plan-dependent MCP and API access.

## Key features

- Smart Citations distinguish supporting, contrasting and mentioning citation contexts.
- An AI assistant links research answers to source material.
- Collections organize papers for monitoring and review.

## Use cases

- Inspect the evidence around a disputed research claim.
- Collect and follow literature for a research project.

## Pricing

Basic is advertised at USD 12 per month billed yearly, with a 7-day trial. This is an annual-billing rate, not a monthly-billed price. The trial FAQ says the selected subscription begins automatically unless cancelled.

## FAQ

**Does a contrasting citation prove a result is false?**

No. It identifies a citation context to inspect; the methods and findings still need human assessment.

**Is API access part of Basic?**

The current pricing page places API access in Pro rather than Basic; larger data needs require a separate discussion.
