Corollary vs Neurosnap
Neurosnap hosts computational-biology tools and models with published monthly plans, and a one-credit academic free tier. Corollary runs 145 open models free for non-commercial research, inside an agent that also handles the bioinformatics around them.
The short answer
Neurosnap is a catalogue of hosted tools — structure prediction, protein design, molecular dynamics, RNA and file utilities — run from the browser, an API, an SDK or an MCP server. Its prices are published and low, and it has added an agent, paid from credits.
Corollary covers the same protein models and adds the rest of a biology analysis: an agent with a Linux machine of its own, bioinformatics programs, public databases and nf-core pipelines, all on a free plan. It is a non-commercial research demonstration.
Choose Neurosnap for low published prices with a commercial option. Choose Corollary for a generous free allowance and an agent that runs the whole analysis, when the work is not commercial.
Side by side
- What it is
- CorollaryA research agent with a Linux machine of its own, and a library of open scientific models, programs, databases and pipelines it runs for you.
- NeurosnapA platform of hosted computational-biology tools and models, run from the browser or by API.[1]
- How you use it
- CorollaryIn the browser, with a free account or signed out. Nothing to install. Also a developer API and an MCP server.
- NeurosnapA web app, REST API, Python SDK, MCP server and team accounts; sign-up by email.[1][6]
- Price
- CorollaryFree. 30,000 credits a month with an account, 1,000 signed out; database queries never use credits.
- NeurosnapFree: one starting credit, academic use, limited models. Paid: $13.99, $24.99 or $129.99 a month, or $1 a credit.[1]
- Commercial use
- CorollaryNot permitted. Corollary is a non-commercial research demonstration, with no warranty or support.
- NeurosnapCommercial use of outputs needs the Professional plan or Enterprise.[2][1]
- Where the work runs
- CorollaryOn our servers: a Linux machine per conversation, and jobs of up to 32 cores, 256 GiB of memory and 24 hours for long runs.
- NeurosnapNeurosnap's managed infrastructure. GPU types and job limits are not published.[1]
- Scientific AI models
- Corollary301 models in the library, 145 of them run here — GPU included, with no setup and no key of your own.
- NeurosnapMore than 100 curated tools, including ESMFold, Boltz-2, RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN and Evo 2. Listed plans cap folding at 5,000 residues.[1][5]
- Programs and pipelines
- Corollary43 bioinformatics programs installed or run as jobs, and 143 nf-core pipelines.
- NeurosnapMolecular dynamics, RNA tools and file converters among its services.[5]
- Databases
- Corollary53 public databases queried live, with no API key of your own.
- NeurosnapIts agent can query UniProt, PubChem, the AlphaFold Database and ChEMBL.[3]
- Language model
- CorollaryChosen and paid for by Corollary. No API key of your own.
- NeurosnapNeurosnap Agent runs on OpenAI and is paid from credits.[3][2]
- Open source
- CorollaryNo. The service is closed source; the models, programs and pipelines it runs are open.
- NeurosnapNo.
- Your files
- CorollaryUploaded to our servers and kept in the conversation's workspace. Some of our processors are in the United States.
- NeurosnapUnlimited storage on listed plans. Security is described as aligned with ISO 27001.[1][4]

Where Neurosnap is the better choice
Where Corollary is the better choice
- 30,000 free credits a month, for anyone, with no academic check.
- An agent that runs the whole analysis — inputs, model, interpretation — alongside 43 bioinformatics programs and 143 nf-core pipelines.
- 53 public databases the agent queries live, at no credit cost.

Ask in plain language. The agent works on a Linux machine of its own: it installs and runs what the job needs, keeps every file, and reads the results back with the numbers explained.
Questions
Is Corollary a free alternative to Neurosnap?
Corollary is free: 30,000 credits a month with an account, and database queries never use credits. It is a non-commercial research demonstration, so it is not an alternative for commercial work — for that, Neurosnap or one of the other options below may be the right choice.
Is Neurosnap free?
Its free plan gives one starting credit for academic use, with a limited set of models; regular use needs a paid plan or pay-as-you-go credits. Corollary's free plan renews 30,000 credits every month.
Can I use Neurosnap commercially?
Yes, on its Professional plan or an Enterprise agreement. Corollary cannot be used commercially: it is a non-commercial research demonstration.
