PapersFlow

Simple, Transparent Pricing for Researchers

Simple, transparent pricing for researchers. Start free, upgrade when you need more. All paid plans include a 7-day free trial.

Start free with PapersFlow, then move up based on actual research volume. The Free plan is for evaluation and light individual use; Plus is the default paid tier for serious solo researchers; Pro adds team collaboration; Ultra is for labs and power users who need uncapped usage.

In the current plan structure, Free includes 50 chat messages per month, 2 Prism runs per month, 5 library projects, and basic writing limits. Plus adds unlimited chat and Thinking mode, 100 Prism runs per month, and sync features like Zotero, Notion, and Mendeley. Pro adds 10 collaborators and shared team libraries. Ultra removes the Prism cap and collaborator cap for high-volume teams.

On this page, “unlimited AI queries” should be read as unlimited day-to-day chat and reasoning usage inside the plan. It does not mean every advanced workflow is uncapped, because Prism and some higher-cost operations still use plan-specific monthly allowances unless you are on Ultra.
