Is it really more comprehensive? SciHub lets you get literally every paper that is available even if they haven't already obtained it. That's why it's so popular - you can put in some super-obscure paper from your niche field that only 1000 people in the world care about and it will still spit out a PDF.

I did once encounter a paper it didn't have - in those cases, you can try ICanHazPDF on Twitter:
