Pay only when you need more depth.

PeerReviewAI is an AI-powered manuscript review tool built on peer review methodology, EQUATOR reporting standards, and journal-specific guidelines. It provides structured, expert-level feedback on scientific manuscripts in minutes — from quick readiness checks to comprehensive pre-submission audits with tracked changes delivered in your .docx file.

Four review modes plus one add-on: Readiness (free, unlimited) gives you a 60-second verdict on whether your draft is ready. Essentials ($2.99/paper) provides a structured brief for intelligent discussion. Peer Review ($29/paper) delivers a referee-grade report alongside your manuscript. Author Review ($79/paper) includes everything in Peer Review plus tracked changes applied directly to your .docx. ESL Language Review ($29/paper) is an add-on for Author Review that provides a language pass for non-native English authors.

Yes — your first Essentials review is completely free, no credit card required. The Readiness check is always free and unlimited. All other review modes are pay-per-use with no subscription required.

Nothing — your manuscript is protected by Anthropic’s Zero Data Retention. It is processed in memory and never stored on our servers. Once your review is generated, the manuscript content is immediately discarded.

Yes — credit packs are available in your account after signup with savings of up to 25%. Credits are purchased per review type and never expire. For institutional or volume pricing, contact us or email us at support@peerreviewai.org.

This is by design. The two modes have different scope — Peer Review evaluates across 9 sections, while Author Review audits across 16 sections including reporting checklist compliance, formatting compliance, ethics verification, and figure & table analysis. The additional audit sections in Author Review surface findings (like missing CONSORT flow diagrams or data sharing statements) that Peer Review doesn't check for. The core scientific concerns — methodological issues, statistical problems, reference integrity — are consistent across both modes. The differences are in scope and packaging, not in what was detected.

Readiness checks complete in about 60 seconds. Essentials reviews typically take 2-3 minutes. Peer Review and Author Review take 5-15 minutes depending on manuscript length and complexity. All reviews stream in real-time so you can read the output as it generates.

A chatbot will give you whatever you ask for, in whatever shape it feels like. PeerReviewAI runs a fixed methodological rubric — every paper gets the same checks in the same order, with issues located in the manuscript and tied to evidence. The output is a structured report, not a conversation.

Yes. We provide a one-line disclosure you can include in your cover letter or methods, and we never claim authorship contribution. You decide which suggestions to accept; the manuscript stays yours.

No. Credits never expire — once purchased, they're yours to use whenever you need them.

All credit purchases are non-refundable. New accounts start with one free trial of each review type so you can evaluate the product before purchasing.
