Caktus AI

Caktus AI is a series of AI tools that helps students to write, cite, and expand on writing to create “A+” grade essays. Caktus AI costs around $14.99 per month for the base plan and $19.99 per month for the pro plan.

In the words of the founders, “Caktus gives the tools to learn the material you’re being taught.” It allows students to “learn faster” and “be more efficient” with homework, long-form essays, and even research studies.

Pro’s:

Here’s what we like about Caktus AI:

1. Provides math and science tools: A unique addition to the writing and essay tools.
2. Citation tools: Makes citations extremely easy.
3. Academic sources: We like that it only uses academic sources for writing output.
4. Chrome extension: We love seeing that there’s a chrome extension, too.
5. Ability to pass AI detectors: Caktus can pass AI detectors like GPT zero.

Con’s:

Here’s what we don’t like about Caktus AI:

1. A subscription service: While it’s not a deal-breaker (since the price is accommodating), there is a monthly subscription to use Caktus.
2. A lot of “random” tools for potentially one job: You’ll have to know how to use Catkus and become a pro to create the best output.
3. Hard to find any support: Difficult to find support.

Pricing:

• Free to sign up and try.
• Base plan: $14.99/m
• Pro plan: $19.99/m

How does Caktus AI stack up to ChatGPT?

When looking at how Caktus stacks up to ChatGPT, we really like the use case for Caktus lean more toward students. ChatGPT will use sources across the web, making it less ideal for those who are creating long research papers (ideally, you’re not citing academic resources from random publications or potentially even Wikipedia).

Here’s a quick comparison chart:

ChatGPT	Caktus AI
Designed to answer questions and create dedicated writing for all types of prompts.	Specifically designed for students. Uses academic sources for output against prompts.
Doesn’t have key tools for students.	Key tools include “math word problem solver,” “discussion board response generator,” and “essay writer.”
