Scira

What is Scira?

Research assistant that finds answers and acts across 100+ apps.

Who is Scira best for?

Scira is best for people who want answers with a source behind every sentence, from the web, X, Reddit and papers.

• Checking claims before you trust them

  Every sentence links to the page it came from, and when two sources disagree Scira shows both instead of picking one.

• Tracking reaction on X and Reddit

  Dedicated X and Reddit modes pull posts and threads next to web results, which helps when you want to know what people say about a launch.

• Research that ends in an action

  On paid plans, 100+ apps such as Notion, GitHub, Linear and Slack can join a run, and any step that writes to them asks for your approval first.

• Students on a budget

  An Academic search mode comes with every plan, three free searches a day cover light use, and Pro drops to $9 a month with a school email.

How much does Scira cost?

Scira is free for 3 searches a day, and its paid plans cost $15 a month for Pro, with unlimited searches, or $60 a month for Max, which adds more Claude, Gemini and Qwen use plus image generation.

Students pay $9 a month for Pro with a verified school email, applied at checkout. These are US dollar prices; in India Scira bills in rupees, at ₹1,390 a month for Pro and ₹5,990 for Max. There is no yearly plan. Each paid plan has a pool of 100 OpenAI requests a week. Daily searches reset at midnight in your time zone, and model caps reset each calendar week or month.
