Deep Search: Deeper, Smarter, More Extensive Academic Search Finder

We're excited to introduce Deep Search, a powerful new feature that addresses one of the most time-consuming aspects of academic research. Before this update, Sourcely would find relevant sources for you, but you'd still have to manually review each one to understand exactly how it related to your work. Now, Deep Search takes it a step further as it actually reads through the most promising sources and provides you with specific reasons and evidence showing exactly how each source supports your research.

Don't worry, we've kept our existing Sourcely's search functionality as "Quick Search," which works exactly as before. Deep Search is an extension that builds on top of Quick Search, so you can think of it as an optional enhancement when you need deeper analysis of your sources.

However, it comes with the cost that it takes 5-15 minutes to run a deep search in Sourcely. With Deep Search, we had to make adjustments to our pricing plans, removing the one-time paid plan as it doesn't make sense anymore.

  • Pro customers get 10 deep searches a month for free without extra charge
  • New Ultra plan: 30 deep searches per month
  • New Max plan: 1000 deep searches per month (also uses smarter models)

Hope you enjoy this new feature and let us know your feedback!
