New Plan
Consensus Deep Plan Unlocks Unlimited Deep Search at $45/Month
For researchers and specialists who scour the literature often. The deciding axis is frequency.
The Usage Cap Comes Off
Consensus, the service specialized in searching and summarizing academic literature, has launched a new Deep plan at $45 per month. The headline feature: Deep Search, previously subject to a usage limit, is now unlimited under this plan. Deep, cross-paper investigations can run back to back without watching a quota.
Deep Search is not simple keyword matching; it is a heavy process that systematically scans multiple papers around a research topic and organizes conclusions together with their evidence. Previously, hitting the cap meant waiting until the next cycle, which got in the way of intensive literature reviews. Making it unlimited removes that constraint head-on.
What the Deep Plan Includes
Being able to dig deep without counting runs is the plan's essential value.
Who Benefits, Who Doesn't
Benefits
- Runs literature reviews 3-4+ times a week
- Conducts systematic reviews continuously
- Specialists in evidence-heavy fields like medicine and law
Not so much
- Uses Deep Search only a few times a month
- Light users doing casual lookups
- Already covered by the base plan
The bottom line: there is just one axis for the switch decision, namely how often you use Deep Search. If you dig into the literature more than 3-4 times a week, $45 a month easily pays for itself. If it is only a few times a month, the base plan will do. For those who scrutinize literature daily, such as researchers and medical or legal specialists, this Deep plan lands squarely.
The design rewards frequency. Removing the run ceiling is, for heavy users, the most valuable change of all.
