What are the main differences?
Scholarcy
“AI-Powered Academic Research” 📚🧠
- Scholarcy is a comprehensive AI-powered platform for academic paper analysis. It’s built to create thoughtfully structured summaries of complex scholarly articles that adapt to improve understanding at any academic level.
- It offers advanced tools like customizable summaries, research quality analysis, shared libraries, and the AI-powered Dig Deeper feature for thorough literature reviews, individually or collaboratively.
- It supports importing via browser extension, cloud storage, URL, or uploading in a wide range of formats. Exporting options include Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Markdown, RIS, and references separately.
- Scholarcy is ideal for facilitating in-depth academic research — individually or in a team — and gaining a deep understanding on any academic level.
SciSummary
SciSummary“Quick Text Simplification” 📄✂️
- SciSummary is a specialized tool for generating customizable summaries of academic papers with additional analysis features. It aids with understanding but does not offer adaptability or restructuring.
- It provides summary customization options, paraphrasing based on voice, and useful AI features for better understanding, but lacks structure and collaboration capabilities.
- It offers many importing options, but no browser extension or cloud storage. Export is enabled only by copying, using .docx or .pdf formats, or saving as a Zotero note, without bibliography export options.
- SciSummary is best suited for quick, customizable summarization and understanding of reading assignments.

It offers the same simple and fast process as SMMRY but produces better results.

SciSummary creates summaries based on the mode you choose. It allows paraphrasing and asking AI to explain anything.
Scholarcy structures the summaries in a familiar order, enhances the text based on your academic level, makes a research comparison, allows you to Dig Deeper by asking AI questions, and much more.
Step 3

SciSummary allows you to export your summaries only by copying them or downloading them in PDF or Docx formats.

Why Choose Scholarcy?
Say goodbye to endless hours of skim reading to find key insights and hello to efficient, insightful research.
🔎 Structured Summarization
Get tailored summaries with a consistent, practical structure.
Scholarcy delivers precisely structured summaries every time.
With Scholarcy, you’ll always know where to find the information you’re looking for.
Scholarcy
The layout is consistent for every paper: each summary includes key findings, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. You'll also find research quality analysis, comparisons to cited work, and extractable table data, figures, and citations — all of which the AI can interpret and explain for you.
SciSummary
Customizable summaries with various modes and styles. The structure isn't consistent across papers and you have to run summaries in multiple modes to get all the information you need.
Save time with key insights
Turn full-length, complex academic papers into digestible “Flashcards” to find key insights without spending hours skim-reading.
Summarize multiple files at once
Scholarcy’s Article Summarizer is designed to help you understand scholarly literature. It’s trained to identify key elements like the article synopsis, tables, references, methods, results, and more — regardless of the paper’s length.
Generate concise summaries
Scholarcy generates concise summaries to help you quickly grasp the core arguments and discussions. It also highlights key information and related work for further reading or extra context.
🔎 Enhanced User Experience
Unlock deeper understanding adapted to your work style.
Unlock deeper understanding adapted to your work style.
- Scholarcy makes it easier for you to gain a better understanding of complex academic papers.
- The intuitive interface visually organizes features and helps you make research more efficient.
Scholarcy
You can enhance summaries based on your academic level, from high school student to researcher. The "Dig Deeper" feature lets you ask anything about the paper to help fill any knowledge gaps. You also get table and figure explanations and can extract the data to an Excel file for your own use.
SciSummary
Offers a useful AI chat for any questions. It explains tables and figures but you can’t extract them. It also allows paraphrasing summaries to be adapted to different tones. Overall, the UI is a bit cluttered and unstructured, making navigation challenging.
🔎 Research Comparison
Make literature review faster & more efficient with Scholarcy’s automated research comparison
Scholarcy automatically finds related papers and highlights how they compare and differ.
Cross-Paper Insights
Scholarcy automatically finds related papers and highlights how they compare and differ — discover connections, contradictions, and trends across multiple research papers
Research comparison
This will have to have copy added.
🔎 Flexible Import and Export
Compatible with all the file formats you use in your research.
Scholarcy works with all formats you work with.
Scholarcy
Import in a wide array of formats including PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, XML, and LaTeX. Use the handy browser extension for importing as you browse, or pull papers directly from URLs, DOIs, RSS feeds, and even cloud storage. When it's time to share, export your work as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Markdown, RIS citation, and references separately. You can export a single summary or your entire library at once.
SciSummary
Allows importing via raw text, file upload, or URL. You can import directly from your cloud storage. Exporting is limited to copying, .docx and .pdf formats, or saving as a Zotero note. No built-in bibliography export options.
🔎 Comprehensive Reference Management
Build structured bibliographies and pull reference lists from all your papers.
Scholarcy takes the hassle out of reference management. Whether you're working on a single paper or a comprehensive literature review, Scholarcy ensures you won’t lose time with references.
Scholarcy
Create RIS citations for single or multiple summaries at once, ready to import into any reference management tool. You can even export reference lists of the papers you’ve summarized referred to.
SciSummary
Collects paper references, but you'll need to manually copy them. They aren't automatically formatted to your preferred citation style either. And you don't get a citation for the paper you're summarizing.
📊 Collaborative Research Environment
Work on literature reviews as a team.
Scholarcy creates a truly collaborative workspace. With Scholarcy, you can divide the workload, cross-reference findings, and build a collective knowledge base.
Scholarcy
Share entire libraries with your team, work together on literature reviews, and add notes to summaries. The web app, compatible with Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, syncs your research across all your devices. This shared library provides a hub for group projects that keeps everyone on the same page.
SciSummary
Allows sharing individual paper summaries via link or email. While this enables some collaboration, it's limited to single documents and doesn't support team-wide organization.
