Wie wir das erstellt haben
Official pricing pages were re-fetched on 2026-06-18. CONFIRMED ON OFFICIAL PAGES: Paperpile (Regular $4.15/mo, Expert $5.75/mo, annual billing only, 50% academic discount), ReadCube/Papers (Essentials $7/user/mo or $65/user/yr, Pro $14/user/mo or $130/user/yr, per-seat; ISO/IEC 27001:2022 confirmed on papersapp.com/security), Mendeley (Free + Plus $4.99/mo, Pro $9.99/mo, Max $14.99/mo — premium AI tiers verified live on mendeley.com/pricing and corroborated by TrustRadius/Capterra/GetApp), Zotero storage (Free 300MB, 2GB $20/yr, 6GB $60/yr, Unlimited $120/yr), BibGuru Plus ($4.99/mo, 3-day trial, free tier). EndNote: official endnote.com/buy/ served EUR-only (Full €310/sale €248, Student €170/sale €136, Upgrade €140/sale €112); USD one-time prices confirmed via Clarivate/university-bookstore listings (Full $275, Student $150). EndNote is perpetual one-time, not subscription — monthlyUsd=null for all plans. INACCESSIBLE OFFICIAL PAGES (secondary sources used): Citationsy official pricing page returned HTTP 522 on 2026-06-18; current third-party listings (G2, SpotSaaS, search corroboration) show standard Pro at $9.99/month, student rate $4.99/month, annual ~$49.99/year — the draft's $4.99 standard monthly was the STUDENT rate mislabeled and has been corrected. Sciwheel/Lean Library Workspace official pricing redirects to login/403; personal premium $9.95/month corroborated by G2 and SaaSWorthy. CORRECTIONS: ReadCube and Mendeley compliance.gdpr set to null — neither vendor explicitly states GDPR compliance on a fetched page (ReadCube security page states only ISO 27001:2022; Elsevier's general security page does not constitute a Mendeley GDPR claim). accessedAt 2026-06-18.
