Why Perplexity over Brave/Tavily?
Perplexity doesn't just return search results — it synthesises them into coherent answers with citations. It's the difference between a list of links and a researched answer. For complex questions requiring synthesis across multiple sources, Perplexity consistently outperforms raw search APIs.
Free tier: 5 requests/day. Pro plans from $20/month for unlimited searches.
