SciSpace

SciSpace, formerly Typeset, is an AI research platform from PubGenius Inc. of Milpitas, California, covering literature search, paper reading, literature reviews, data extraction, writing and citation work. It was founded in 2015 as the manuscript tool Typeset and rebranded to SciSpace in 2022, and its API documentation describes a corpus of 280M+ scholarly works.

The SciSpace Agent runs research across that corpus, the Biomedical Agent covers life sciences, Deep Review generates literature reviews, Systematic Research follows PRISMA methodology, and an Agent Gallery adds further specialized agents. Other tools include Chat with PDF, Literature Review, AI Writer, Paraphraser, Citation Generator, Extract Data, AI Detector and AI Humanizer, alongside a Chrome extension and a mobile app, and paid plans can unlock eligible full-text papers through institutional access.

SciSpace integrates with Zotero, Mendeley, GitHub, Notion, OneDrive and Google Drive, and offers custom API integrations with internal databases as a professional service. The SciSpace API, in public beta, covers cited search, paper lookup, document ingest, chats, extractions, paraphrasing, AI detection, topics and citation formatting, with Python and TypeScript SDKs, webhooks, LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations, and Claude and OpenAI tool use. Access is requested through an application form, the docs say there is no Zapier app yet, so Zapier flows call the API through Webhooks by Zapier, and SciSpace does not publish an MCP server.

Pricing is in USD. A free tier is available, and Premium costs $20 per month or $12 billed annually with 1,200 monthly credits, Advanced $90 or $70 billed annually, and Max $200 or $160 billed annually, with Advanced and Max listed as unlimited monthly usage, Expert model access and more parallel agent chats. Teams plans and SciSpace Enterprise, which adds SSO and SCIM, shared credit pools and consolidated billing, are sold separately. The API has its own plans: Developer is free with 500 credits a month, Scale is $99 per month with 10,000 credits and Enterprise is custom, and API credits are separate from app subscriptions.

SciSpace is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and stores uploaded documents in isolated, encrypted AWS environments, with RBAC and SSO on enterprise deployments. It states that it does not use customer data for LLM training, and that its enterprise model providers, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure AI Foundry, operate under data-processing agreements that exclude customer data from model training.

SciSpace is best for researchers, students and R&D teams who want literature search, systematic reviews, paper reading and extraction in one workspace on a monthly credit plan. Researchers focused on structured systematic-review evidence tables should consider Elicit, those checking what the literature says about a specific claim should consider Consensus, and broader web research suits ChatGPT Deep Research or Gemini Deep Research. Developers building their own research agents can also look at the search APIs from Tavily and Exa AI.

Current state Q4 2026: SciSpace lists Advanced and Max as unlimited monthly usage, has added an AI Humanizer, and has moved its API documentation to a new developer site, where the API is in public beta with a free Developer plan and a $99 Scale plan.
