Free and Plus

Papero has two plans. Free needs no payment card, and you can outline, write and cite with it. Plus is paid, monthly or yearly, and gives you more AI help, exports with your reference list and sources, and a few features of its own.

This page compares the plans in words. The numbers, such as how many suggestions or PDFs each plan includes, are on the pricing page, because they can change.

What both plans include

• The editor, with outlines, autocomplete, rewrites and section drafts. See Writing.
• Every citation style, in-text citations and a reference list you can read and copy, paper search, and lookups by DOI, PMID, arXiv ID or ISBN. See Citations.
• A library you can read, search, edit and cite from, and import into it from .bib and .ris files, Zotero, Mendeley or the Chrome extension. See Library and PDFs.
• PDF uploads, with their own limits, and Chat and Workflows, each with its own allowance.
• The Review panel, with a monthly allowance of reviews.
• Word and LaTeX export, Word import, version history and sharing a document for comments. See Review and export.
• Support by email at contact@papero.ai.

What Free looks like

• Most AI features have an allowance that resets each day. See Your AI allowance.
• A Word or LaTeX export has plain-text citations and, when the document cites sources, the list's heading and one line saying the list is part of Plus in place of the list. See Export to Word.
• Autocomplete and section drafts can cite the PDFs you uploaded.
• Chat answers from your PDFs and the document you are writing. Workflows run at Low depth, with a set number of runs in total that does not reset.
• You can keep a limited number of PDFs, each with a size and page limit.

What Plus adds

• Feature allowances reset each month instead of each day, and the monthly fair-use limit on AI is higher. The daily paper search limit still applies, as on every plan: it resets at midnight UTC, and searches through the Claude or ChatGPT connector count toward it. Web questions in Chat have a daily limit too.
• The reference list in your exports. In a Word export, the citations and the list keep working with the Zotero plugin. A LaTeX export includes a references.bib file. See Export to Word.
• Exporting your sources as .bib or .ris files. See Import BibTeX and RIS files.
• Autocomplete and section drafts can also cite your other sources and papers from OpenAlex. See Autocomplete.
• The Citation report, which checks each cited sentence against the papers it cites. See Citation report.
• There is far more room for PDFs.
• Chat can also answer from the abstracts of papers that have no PDF, search the web and read an image you attach. See Chat with your library.
• Workflows run at every depth, with a monthly allowance of runs.

How Plus is billed

• You pay by card, through Stripe, monthly or yearly. Yearly works out cheaper than paying monthly.
• You pay in advance for each month or year, and Plus renews on its own until you cancel.
• Prices include VAT where it applies.
• Papero offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on Plus, as the Terms of Service describe. See Refunds.

To start, see Upgrade to Plus.

See which plan you are on

1. Look at the foot of the sidebar. Under your email address it says Free plan or Plus plan.
2. To see more, open the account menu there and choose Settings, then Plan & usage. The Plan card names your plan, and the Usage card shows what you have used of each allowance and when it resets.

On Free, the account menu also has Upgrade, which opens the plan comparison inside the app. On Plus it has Manage plan, which opens your plan page on papero.ai.

If your plan ends

When you move from Plus to Free, or Plus ends, your documents and sources stay in your account. The Free limits apply from the end of the period you paid for: your library and reference list stay readable, and exports leave the list out again. See Cancel or change your plan.

Next: upgrade to Plus.
