How it works
The software is sold as a one-time purchase: $275 for the standard version, $150 for students, and $125 for an upgrade from an older version. There is no free plan, though a 30-day trial is available. It is owned by Clarivate, the company behind Web of Science.
EndNote is a powerful tool for researchers who write long documents with hundreds of citations and need reliable formatting. For students on a budget, Zotero does the same job for free — EndNote's value is in its depth, its institutional support, and its integration with Web of Science.
