Questions
Is there a free alternative to Consensus?
Yes. 6 AI research assistants have a free plan, including Elicit, Claude (Research), Dust, Gemini Deep Research, ResearchRabbit.
How this page is made
Alternatives come from Consensus's own category, AI research assistants. Prices come from each vendor's pricing page and are compared at the same volume where both can be computed, and by starting price where neither can. "States that Consensus doesn't" lists what we found on the other vendor's site and didn't find on Consensus's, which doesn't prove Consensus lacks it. How prices are read.
