Verdict
Perplexity Pro is the best AI search tool for users who need cited, current information rather than generated text. Unlike ChatGPT, every answer includes source citations and links to the original content. The Pro tier at $20/month adds Claude and GPT-4 as model options alongside Perplexity own model. In our testing on factual research tasks, Perplexity outperformed Google for complex multi-part questions where you need synthesised answers rather than a list of links to check yourself.
