Rayyan

Rayyan is the AI-powered systematic review platform purpose-built for academic researchers, evidence synthesis teams, and clinicians needing to conduct systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses at scale. Originally founded as an open-access systematic review tool by the Qatar Computing Research Institute, Rayyan has grown into one of the most-used systematic review platforms globally with 1+ million researchers across academic, healthcare, and research institutions, with positioning as the trusted standard for evidence synthesis workflows. Pricing follows a tiered subscription model with annual options (save up to 40%): Free covers early-career researchers with 3 active reviews, up to 2 reviewers/viewers per review, industry-leading duplicate detection, Legacy Compute Rating, workbench with 15+ facets and filters, and standard support. Pro at $8.33/seat/month annual ($99.99/year) covers active researchers with expanded reviews, more reviewers, advanced AI capabilities, and priority support. Student at $4.99/seat/month annual ($59.88/year) covers individual students with verification of academic affiliation. Institutional pricing is custom-priced for universities and research organizations. Rayyan's differentiation versus Covidence, DistillerSR, and other systematic review tools is the academic accessibility combined with strong AI capabilities and global research community: rather than positioning purely as enterprise systematic review software (Covidence pattern) or being limited to specific medical use cases (DistillerSR pattern), Rayyan combines academic-friendly pricing (free tier + student tier) with AI-powered duplicate detection, screening assistance, and collaboration features used across diverse research domains globally. This produces materially better accessibility for individual researchers and academic teams than enterprise-only alternatives. Rayyan capabilities include AI duplicate detection, AI screening recommendations, multi-reviewer collaboration with conflict resolution, full-text screening, advanced filtering and facets, citation export, integration with major reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote), PRISMA flow diagram generation, and team management for institutional deployments. The platform serves academic researchers, evidence synthesis teams, clinicians, public health researchers, and institutional research teams globally. Rayyan operates under SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and academic data handling compliance.
