ClinicalEvidence is a Trialtrove alternative for teams that need cited answers about registered trials without an enterprise contract. It searches ClinicalTrials.gov, the EU Clinical Trials Register, WHO ICTRP and PubMed, cites every sentence to an NCT number or PMID, and adds trial tables, status alerts and pooled team seats at published prices. Trialtrove is the better pick when you need analyst curated records from proprietary sources.
Trialtrove from Citeline is a curated global trial database with benchmarking, site and investigator data through Sitetrove, and Ask the Analyst support. Citeline does not publish prices, so you learn the cost after a sales process, and subscriptions are scoped by contract.
That fits a large sponsor with a competitive intelligence group. It is harder to justify for a five person biotech, a CRO feasibility desk or a medical affairs team that mostly asks a handful of landscape questions a week.
ClinicalEvidence is not affiliated with Citeline. Pick the tool that matches the sources your deliverable must cite.
Trialtrove details come from Citeline product pages, checked in November 2026. Citeline does not list prices, so confirm scope and cost with its sales team.

Trialtrove wins on curated depth, proprietary sources and analyst support. ClinicalEvidence wins on transparent pricing, speed to a first answer and a citation behind every sentence.
Write the indication, the intervention class and the status you care about. ClinicalEvidence does the registry reading and shows its sources.
Run a clinical trial search across ClinicalTrials.gov, EU CTR, WHO ICTRP and PubMed in one question.
Read the answer. Every sentence carries an NCT number or PMID, and each citation is verified against its source. No verified source, no answer.
Open the trial table and filter by phase, status, sponsor type and country.
Set an alert so new trials and status changes reach the team.
Export the table and references for the feasibility deck or competitor review.
For the wider buying decision read our guide to trial intelligence platforms for small biotech and the clinical trial feasibility software page.
Each sentence links to an NCT number or PMID. Open it and judge whether the passage supports the claim. Verification proves the reference exists and supports the sentence; your team still appraises relevance and quality.
The trial table lists phase, population, interventions, endpoints, results posted, sponsor, status, enrollment, dates and locations. Check the results field before you treat a planned endpoint as an observed finding.
Alerts flag new trials and status changes on a saved question. Research Team adds shared workspaces, comments and roles, so a colleague can review the same evidence before it leaves the team.
If your work depends on analyst curated records from non public sources, keep Trialtrove for that and use ClinicalEvidence for fast cited registry questions in between.
ClinicalEvidence carries no advertising. Plans are billed monthly or yearly and answers are pooled across the seats on the plan.
Full limits are on the pricing page.
For a small team that needs cited answers from public registries, ClinicalEvidence is a strong alternative because it searches ClinicalTrials.gov, EU CTR, WHO ICTRP and PubMed and cites every sentence to an NCT number or PMID. Teams that need analyst curated records from proprietary sources or Ask the Analyst support should stay with Trialtrove or Cortellis.
Citeline does not publish Trialtrove pricing, so a quote comes from its sales team and depends on scope. ClinicalEvidence prices are public: Research Team is 199 USD per month or 99 USD per month billed yearly for 3 seats, and Organization is 499 USD per month or 249 USD per month billed yearly for 10 seats.
Not for every team. Trialtrove adds curated records, proprietary sources and analyst support. ClinicalEvidence reads public registries and PubMed, shows each answer with checked citations and a filterable trial table, and costs a fraction of an enterprise contract. Many small teams use it first and add an enterprise database later.
Coverage overlaps where a trial is registered publicly. ClinicalEvidence indexes ClinicalTrials.gov, the EU Clinical Trials Register and WHO ICTRP daily. Records that exist only in proprietary or analyst sourced data are not included, so check your indication before you cancel anything.
Yes. Alerts on a saved question flag new trials and status changes, with 5 alerts on Clinician, 25 on Research Team and 100 on Organization. Alerts follow registry records, so they do not include analyst commentary.
Bring a real landscape question from your current project, open the citations and the trial table, and see if the registry view answers it.
