Corollary vs SciSpace BioMed Agent
SciSpace's BioMed Agent is a biomedical co-scientist inside SciSpace's literature workspace, with a small free credit allowance and low-cost paid plans. Corollary is free for non-commercial research and runs open scientific models and nf-core pipelines for you.
The short answer
SciSpace began as a literature and writing tool, and its BioMed Agent adds a co-scientist for multi-omics, clinical phenotypes and lab protocols, drawing on more than a hundred software packages and dozens of databases. Plans are credit-based: a small free allowance, then low monthly prices.
Corollary is built around computation: an agent with a Linux machine of its own, 145 open scientific models, 43 bioinformatics programs and 143 nf-core pipelines, on a free plan. It is a non-commercial research demonstration.
Choose SciSpace when the literature is the centre of the work and you want commercial terms at a low price. Choose Corollary when the work is running models and pipelines on data, free.
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.
- SciSpaceA biomedical research co-scientist for multi-omics, clinical phenotypes and lab-protocol reasoning, inside SciSpace.[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.
- SciSpaceSelf-serve free sign-up. The full BioMed Agent experience is offered on the Enterprise plan, through sales.[1]
- Price
- CorollaryFree. 30,000 credits a month with an account, 1,000 signed out; database queries never use credits.
- SciSpaceBasic is free with 100 credits a month, and SciSpace's own example tasks cost 24 to 217 credits each. Premium is $12 a month billed annually, or $20 monthly; Advanced and Max are 'unlimited' within fair use.[2]
- Commercial use
- CorollaryNot permitted. Corollary is a non-commercial research demonstration, with no warranty or support.
- SciSpaceAllowed. Its terms bar using output to build competing foundation models.[4]
- 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.
- SciSpaceRuns analyses on uploaded data, such as annotating a single-cell file. The hardware is not stated.[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.
- SciSpaceLists 'AI prediction models' among its tools, without naming them.[1]
- Programs and pipelines
- Corollary43 bioinformatics programs installed or run as jobs, and 143 nf-core pipelines.
- SciSpaceMore than 100 biomedical software packages and 150 specialised tools.[1]
- Databases
- Corollary53 public databases queried live, with no API key of your own.
- SciSpace'Dozens' of curated biomedical databases, alongside SciSpace's literature search.[1]
- Language model
- CorollaryChosen and paid for by Corollary. No API key of your own.
- SciSpaceNot named; SciSpace describes itself as model-neutral.[5]
- Open source
- CorollaryNo. The service is closed source; the models, programs and pipelines it runs are open.
- SciSpaceNo.
- Your files
- CorollaryUploaded to our servers and kept in the conversation's workspace. Some of our processors are in the United States.
- SciSpacePrivate uploads are not used to train a general-purpose model. SOC 2 Type II, per its trust centre.[4][3]

Where SciSpace is the better choice
Where Corollary is the better choice
- 30,000 free credits a month, and database queries never use them.
- 145 open scientific models, structure prediction and protein design included, run here with no GPU of your own.
- 143 nf-core pipelines and 43 bioinformatics programs, on a Linux machine of the agent's own.

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 SciSpace?
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, SciSpace or one of the other options below may be the right choice.
Is SciSpace's BioMed Agent free?
SciSpace's Basic plan is free, with a small monthly credit allowance; by SciSpace's own examples a task costs from a few dozen to a couple of hundred credits, so regular use needs a paid plan. Corollary's free plan renews 30,000 credits each month.
