Explainpaper

Explainpaper is a reading assistant for research papers. A user uploads a paper, highlights a passage that is hard to follow, and receives a plain language explanation generated by a large language model. The goal is to cut the time spent decoding jargon in academic writing. It is built for students, researchers and anyone who reads technical papers. Explanations are context aware, so they take the surrounding text into account. The complexity level can be adjusted from beginner to expert, and explanations are available in more than 50 languages. Users can ask follow up questions about a passage, and the Free plan includes a Zotero library import. The Pro plan adds Math Explain for formulas and figures, summaries of an entire paper, saved highlights and explanations, questions about the whole paper, and more advanced AI models. The Free plan costs $0 per month and offers unlimited highlight explanations and follow up questions on basic AI models. Pro is $16 per month with a 7 day free trial, and the yearly option is shown with a 25 percent saving. The Teams plan adds team management, priority support and volume discounts, with pricing by contacting the vendor. Billing runs through Stripe.
