Systematic Review Software Selector
Tell it your situation and it applies a fixed, published rule set. It also shows youwhy each tool was eliminated, which is the part most recommendation pages hide.
Performance is not yet measuredOur own screening-performance runs are not published yet, so this selector currently ranks onrequirement fit only. Every result shows
evidence: NOT YET MEASURED. When the benchmark is published, measured performance appears alongside fit — and never merged into a single number. See the methodology.The rules, in full
Hard filters remove a tool outright: a zero budget removes paid-only tools; GUI-only comfort removes tools that require a local Python install; a PRISMA requirement removes plans without it; two or more reviewers removes plans whose free-reviewer allowance is too small.
Surviving tools are scored on a weighted sum:
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| budget fit | 0.30 |
| workflow features | 0.25 |
| team size fit | 0.20 |
| setup burden | 0.15 |
| data portability | 0.10 |
affiliate availability, commission and revenue potential are excluded from every weight above. A free tool that fits your constraints best is shown first, and we earn nothing from that.
