Citationsy review
A paid citation tool with strong browser capture and support for over 10,000 styles.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Citationsy is a citation and reference-management tool for students, researchers, and academic writers. It organizes references into projects and supports research materials ranging from books and scientific papers to music and podcasts. Users can work across the web, macOS, iOS, and Chrome, with tools for creating citations, copying bibliographies into essays, and exporting references for academic writing.
Its strongest area is citation capture and style coverage. The Chrome extension can capture webpages, while barcode scanning can create citations from books. References can be exported in over 10,000 styles, including APA, Harvard, Chicago, MLA, and DIN. The product also supports Microsoft Word, and its Mac application can export bibliographies as Word documents. That combination suits users who move between browser research, desktop writing, and mobile reference collection.
Citationsy is a paid product rather than a free-plan tool, so it fits users who want its capture, project organization, and style features as part of a paid workflow. The published Pro plan highlights project organization, broad source search, barcode scanning, and extensive style export. Its Word document workflow is tied to the Mac application in the product description, which may matter to writers working primarily on other platforms. Choose Citationsy if browser capture, mobile access, and a large selection of citation styles are central to your work; consider another option if a free plan or broader word-processor coverage is more important.
