Consensus vs Felo AI

When to pick Consensus

• Your questions need peer-reviewed evidence — Consensus queries 200M+ academic papers and shows a yes/no/possibly Consensus Meter, with every claim linked to a citable source.
• You run literature reviews or systematic screening — Deep Search expands a query across up to 1,000 papers, and Study Snapshots extract methods, outcomes, and sample sizes.
• You want the lower price for regular research — Pro is $10/month billed annually, with a 40% student discount and a 25% clinician discount available.

When to pick Felo AI

• Your work crosses languages — Felo searches the live web in 25+ languages so you can query in English and read a summary in Japanese, Spanish, or your own working language.
• You need to move from research to output in one tool — AI Slides, LiveDoc, and Felo Agents turn search results into presentations and documents without switching apps.
• You want current web coverage, not just academic literature — Felo synthesizes real-time sources, and the free tier’s 200 credits/day handle light daily research.

Bottom line

Consensus and Felo AI both answer questions with AI, but from opposite corners of the source spectrum. Consensus is a research instrument bound to 200M+ peer-reviewed papers, best when rigor and citations matter and cheapest at $10/month annually. Felo is a multilingual web-search and creation platform at $14.99/month, best when you need current information across languages plus slides and documents in the same place. Choose Consensus for evidence-backed academic answers; choose Felo for real-time, cross-language research and content generation. Neither offers an API, so both are end-user tools rather than pipeline components.
