CiteDashAI paper summarizer that extracts flashcards and key facts from any academic PDF.
Scholarcy is a focused tool that does one thing well -- summarizing a single paper into structured flashcards. For students who are handed a stack of PDFs and need to understand each one quickly, Scholarcy is legitimately helpful and affordable. CiteDash addresses a different job: it finds the papers in the first place and synthesizes across many of them. A reasonable workflow is to use CiteDash to discover and synthesize relevant literature, then use Scholarcy to deep-dive on individual papers you want to read closely.

Students and researchers who want fast structured summaries of individual papers they already have.
You need AI-powered research that searches real academic databases, generates fully cited reports, and provides study tools -- all with built-in citation verification to eliminate hallucinations.
Scholarcy converts a research paper into a structured summary with sections for key findings, methods, contributions, and referenced studies -- presented as a flashcard. It is designed for quickly understanding a single paper you already have.
No. Scholarcy summarizes papers you already have (via upload, URL, or browser extension). CiteDash searches Semantic Scholar, PubMed, CrossRef, OpenAlex, arXiv, and other databases to find papers for you.
CiteDash is better for generating a complete literature review, because it searches, synthesizes across many papers, and writes structured cited prose. Scholarcy is better as a reading aid for individual papers you have already decided to include in a review.
Scholarcy's Personal Library plan is $9/month. CiteDash Starter is also $9/month, but includes multi-source research, report generation, citation management, and study tools rather than single-paper summarization.
Yes. Use CiteDash to discover and synthesize across the literature, then use Scholarcy to generate detailed flashcard summaries of the individual papers you want to read most carefully. They complement each other well.
