What Consensus does

Consensus searches scientific papers and summarises what the body of evidence says about a claim.

Our review of Consensus

Consensus answers the question people actually have — "what does the research say?" — with a consensus meter across studies rather than a single citation. It is a great sanity check for health, nutrition and social science claims. It is not a general search engine and will return little outside academic coverage.

Pros

  • Evidence-based answers
  • Consensus meter across studies
  • Fast claim checking
  • Free tier available

Cons

  • Academic coverage only
  • Nuance can be flattened
  • Limited long-form output

Pricing

Free tier; Premium from around $9/month.
