- Pricing
- Free plan available, Pro at around $20/mo
- Commission
- No affiliate program - listed on merit
A genuinely useful research tab to keep open - but it complements a main AI assistant rather than replacing one.
Pros
- Answers come with sources you can actually check
- Fast for niche, trend, and competitor research
- Free plan handles most casual research needs
Cons
- Not a writing tool - thin for drafting listings or copy
- Pro features overlap with a ChatGPT or Claude plan you may already have
Perplexity is listed on merit - there is no affiliate program. Its strength is cited research: niche checks, trend questions, and competitor digging where you want to see the source. For drafting copy, keep a dedicated AI assistant.
