Strengths and limits to consider
Where it may help

- Structured extraction reduces manual copying
Checks before you commit
- Corpus and full-text availability affect coverage
- Extraction and screening require expert review
A practical Elicit trial
Task: Screen ten known papers against an explicit population, intervention and outcome rule.
Check the result: Compare every inclusion decision and extracted sample size with the original paper.
Save your starting brief and define a usable result before running the task. Record how many corrections you need and the actual credits or usage consumed. Repeat the same brief in one alternative below; compare the final usable output and your editing time rather than a polished marketing example.
Your Elicit trial score
Try the task above before scoring. Give each criterion 0 (not met), 1 (partly met), or 2 (met). Five equally weighted criteria produce your own score out of 100. This is your assessment, not an AI Speed rating or a benchmark.
Score pending: complete all five checks.
Keep a note of your task, plan, model and test date if you compare another tool. These selections stay in this page’s memory and reset when you reload; they are not submitted or stored.
Pricing, availability and Canadian billing
Check the official plans before subscribing; AI allowances, team access and regional taxes can change. No price was independently tested.
We do not quote an unverified subscription price. Confirm the displayed currency, applicable Canadian taxes, usage allowances, paid add-ons and cancellation terms with the maker. A public website does not establish that every feature or plan is available to every Canadian account.
