Our verdict on CitApp

CitApp is a web-based citation generator and source-management tool for students and researchers. It supports URL and DOI metadata lookup, PDF uploads, browser capture through an extension or bookmarklet, and citation formatting in more than 150 styles. Projects and categories help organize research, while Google Docs insertion and reference-list tools connect citation work with academic writing. Its feature set suits users managing multiple papers, citation formats, and research libraries rather than people seeking only a basic formatter.

The free plan includes unlimited sources in the app, 150+ citation styles, 10 browser captures per week, 30 Google Docs citation insertions per week, and export to Word, BibTeX, and RIS. The published pricing page shows the Pro plan at 99 kr per term. Pro adds no weekly limits, unlimited browser captures, unlimited Google Docs citations, AI source summaries, and a page archive. CitApp also advertises a launch offer of 19 kr per month for life for first subscribers. The paid tier is most relevant to users whose capture and document-insertion volume regularly exceeds the free allowances.

CitApp connects with Crossref, PubMed, arXiv, Google Books, DOI.org, Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and Google Docs. That combination supports both direct lookup and migration from established reference managers, while BibTeX, RIS, and Word export helps preserve flexibility across writing workflows. Custom citation styles, AI reference lists, summaries, and Academic Shield checks add breadth beyond basic citation generation. Choose CitApp if you want one workspace for capture, organization, formatting, imports, and document insertion; choose a narrower tool if you only need occasional manual citations or do not need library-management features.
