Labguru has several shortcomings that make it less suitable for modern biotech R&D. It lacks easy 1-click data import from various formats like PDFs, Google Docs, and spreadsheets. Support is limited to live chat and email, missing out on extensive options such as unlimited training, data migration, and consulting that Scispot offers. Labguru also lacks built-in integrations with numerous apps and instruments, which restricts its versatility in a lab setting.

Furthermore, it does not provide AI-assisted global search, experiment design, or AI-ready R&D data. Advanced computational tools like embedded Jupyter Notebook and GPT-4 are absent. Many advanced features are available only in the Pro plan, potentially increasing costs. Its pricing lacks transparency and inclusiveness, leading to possible additional charges as customer needs evolve. These limitations underscore why Scispot is a more comprehensive and robust platform for biotech R&D compared to Labguru.
