Capability matrix
Grouped by area. Every state carries a word as well as a colour, and anything the catalog has not established stays neutral rather than counting as a missing feature.

Pros & cons
Strengths and compromises
Each tool's published strengths and the compromises that come with them, as supplied — not scored or ranked against each other. Longer lists fold; nothing is left out.
EvolutionaryScale
Pros
- Frontier protein language model research
- Concentrates on drug discovery depth over broad coverage
- Scales to organization-wide healthcare rollouts
- Supports local models and hosted APIs
Cons
- Research-facing rather than packaged product
- Drug success still depends on downstream trials
- Pricing is sales-led and needs scoping upfront
- Predictions still require independent laboratory validation
- Hosted API access has usage limits
- Larger ESM3 variants require access approval
- Specific API model availability is not guaranteed
- Atlas AI responses may contain inaccuracies
Iktos
Pros
- Generative chemistry plus synthesis planning
- Built specifically for drug discovery teams, not bolt-on AI
- Scales to organization-wide healthcare rollouts
Cons
- Engagement is partnership and software-led
- Drug success still depends on downstream trials
- Pricing is sales-led and needs scoping upfront
Pricing
What each one costs
Published pricing signals only. Where a tool has not established a price, that is what it says — never a zero and never "free".
