What is Wikiwand?

Wikiwand gives Wikipedia a cleaner, adjustable reading layout with themes, serif or sans text, adjustable width and text size, keyboard navigation, bookmarks and side panels. Its AI answers questions using only the Wikipedia article you are reading and the articles it links to, and can build timelines and top questions for a topic. Reading is always free and ad-free when you are signed in, while the Pro and Researcher plans add more AI credits and features.

Pros: what Wikiwand does well

  • Reading is always free
  • AI answers link back to Wikipedia sources
  • Reading settings carry across articles and devices

Cons: where it falls short

  • More AI credits need a paid plan
  • Shows ads unless you sign in
