Report
Paperpile is a clean and simple reference manager that makes it easy to collect, organize, share, and cite your research papers.
Worth it
Buy if you're a student or academic who writes in Google Docs — it's fast, cheap, and reviewers repeatedly call it the most intuitive reference manager.
Skip it if you want a free tool, have a 5,000+ paper library, or sit behind a restrictive school or work network.
Fast, clean reference manager Google Docs users love; no free plan, yearly-only billing, big libraries lag.
