AI search engine with cited sources
Perplexity AI is an AI search engine that answers questions and cites its sources. Below: what it does, pricing and how it compares to ChatGPT.
Perplexity combines search with an LLM: it writes an answer and shows source citations — handy for research and fact-checking.
There's a free mode, Pro (~$20/mo) and Max. Higher plans add more queries and advanced models.
ChatGPT is the all-round assistant; Perplexity is about cited search; Claude is long-form text. Pick by task. All chat models are in Zerocoder.
How is it different from Google? It returns a written answer with citations. Free tier? Yes, with limits. API? Yes.
