Jenni is where you write. It suggests sentences grounded in your own PDFs, cites as you go in 10,000+ styles, and reviews each claim against your sources. ORBIT starts where the draft ends: it checks the paper against one journal's guidelines and against citation registries, formats it to a template, suggests journals with their fees, and drafts the cover letter.

Not for writing. Jenni helps you write the paper; ORBIT doesn't. They fit one after the other: draft in Jenni, then check, format and submit with ORBIT.
Jenni formats citations and ties claims to your PDFs. Reference Check looks every entry up in Crossref, OpenAlex and DataCite, and flags retractions, entries that don't resolve, and details that disagree with the published record.
Jenni is a monthly or yearly plan with a free tier. ORBIT is pay per use, with 5 free credits a month, and you'd use it a few times per paper rather than every day.
