Question 1

Does PapersFlow have visual paper graphs like Research Rabbit?

Accepted Answer

PapersFlow shows paper relationships and connections but does not have Research Rabbit's interactive network visualization. PapersFlow focuses on deeper AI analysis of papers rather than visual graph exploration. For visual mapping, you can use both tools together.

Question 2

Is PapersFlow free like Research Rabbit?

Accepted Answer

PapersFlow has a free tier that covers basic features, but its full multi-agent analysis and writing tools require a Pro subscription. Research Rabbit is completely free with no premium tier. If cost is the primary concern, Research Rabbit for discovery plus PapersFlow's free tier is a good combination.

Question 3

Can I use Research Rabbit for discovery and PapersFlow for everything else?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, this is a great workflow. Use Research Rabbit's visual exploration to find papers, export them to Zotero, then sync with PapersFlow for AI analysis, organization, and writing. Many researchers use this exact combination.

Question 4

How does PapersFlow's paper discovery compare to Research Rabbit's?

Accepted Answer

Research Rabbit excels at citation-based discovery starting from seed papers. PapersFlow uses semantic search (via OpenAlex and Exa) which can find topically related papers even without citation links. The approaches are complementary rather than identical.
