ScienceIQ review
A web-based AI study workspace for turning PDFs and lectures into practice materials.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScienceIQ is a cloud AI study platform for university students, researchers, and other learners working from documents or recorded lectures. Upload PDFs or share YouTube lecture links to generate summaries, quizzes, flashcard sets, mind maps, and personalized study plans. It also supports chat with uploaded papers, video analysis, progress tracking, quiz retakes, and study across more than 30 languages. The web-only service is suited to people who want one browser workspace for turning source material into different study formats.
The published plans show a freemium structure. Free includes 20 chat messages, two quizzes, two flashcard sets, and two mind maps per month. Starter costs $4.17 per month when billed annually or $5.99 monthly, with 200 chat messages, 250 quizzes, 250 flashcard sets, and three learning plans each month. Pro costs $12.50 per month annually or $17.99 monthly, adding 550 chat messages, 15 video analyses, study groups, and quiz battles. A custom plan is described for schools and universities. This makes Starter a low-cost step up for regular individual study, while Pro is aimed at heavier use and collaborative practice.
Its standout capability is breadth from a single source: the same document or lecture can become explanatory notes, retrieval practice, visual organization, and a plan for continued study. Citation support and document chat can help learners stay connected to their uploaded material, while progress tracking and retakes add an ongoing study loop. ScienceIQ fits learners who primarily study on the web and value multiple AI-generated formats. Those needing a native mobile workflow, broader support channels, or more generous free usage should consider alternatives built around those priorities.
