Mem: Notes that AI links together on its own and that you can search with a question.

Scite: Research search that shows how other studies support or dispute a finding.

Notes are stored in the service's cloud: keep passwords and employee personal data out
An answer from your notes also pulls in outdated entries: look at the date of the note it cites
Test the note export before moving your whole base there, so you have a way back

Citation classification is automatic and gets complex sentences wrong: open the context of the citation
Write queries in English, as non-English papers are scarce in the database
One study is not proof yet: look for reviews and meta-analyses

They come out even for most roles, so the price and the interface you already use decide.

Neither publishes a fixed monthly price, so both are quoted on request.

Mem: Yes. A free plan with a limit on AI requests. Scite: Yes. A trial.
