Thanks, Mat, for taking the time to cover this. I'm deep into my dissertation, with just six weeks to go, but I still make time to follow your content. Post-submission, I’d love to exchange ideas. It could be something for your audience as well :)
Right now, ChatPDF will only allow you 2 PDFs a day (free version), SciSpace free version is great for a quick overview of multiple papers but it will not go into the nitty gritty details, Kahubi is great and very versatile but it will allow you to create outputs up to 5000 words a month. So they are fairly limited if you want to go into details and ask a lot of questions. On the other hand, explainpaper has unlimited number of highlight explanations, powerdrill will let you ask 200 questions (so potentially 200 papers summarized) a month and finally, openread is quite limited with the number of actions you can take but it does provide loads of information and will easily exceed Kahubi's 5000 word limit. Personally, I'd use all of them depending on my needs. If I am just trying to understand one paper, then ChatPDF and Kahubi or Openread is more than enough. If I want to analyze 20 papers in detail in a single evening, then I'd go to explainpaper, powerdrill, and Kahubi or Openread. If I want to have a quick overview of lots of papers, then SciSpace. I hope this makes sense!
