Perplexity AI: the search engine that gives you clear answers, not just a list of links

The end of traditional search?

How many times have you searched for something on Google and had to open 5-6 different websites, full of ads, until you find the exact information? It's tiring. This is where Perplexity AI comes in. It's not just another chatbot; it's what experts call an "answer engine." It reads the internet for you and gives you the final summary.

If you want to see where Perplexity ranks in the fierce competition with Google or ChatGPT, we recommend that you also read our complete guide on top 20 free AI robots in 2025.

Why choose it? The secret is in the "Sources"

The big problem with bots like ChatGPT is that they can sometimes "hallucinate" (i.e. invent information that sounds credible but is false). Perplexity solves this problem in a brilliant way: cite sources.

• Credibility: Every sentence it generates has a little footnote with a number. If you click on the number, it takes you directly to the site where it got the information.
• Transparency: You know exactly whether the information comes from a government website, an obscure blog, or a recent news story.

• Product Comparisons: Want to buy a new phone? Ask it: "Compare iPhone 16 with Samsung S25, based on expert reviews." It will make you a comparison table, citing relevant technical articles.
• News Summary: If you want to know what's important happening in the world today, Perplexity gives you a summary of the news, eliminating background noise and clickbait.

Free vs. paid: do you need the Pro version?

Perplexity offers a very generous free plan, which is perfect for most users.

• Free version: Allows you to do unlimited searches using their standard search model ("Standard Search"). It's fast and cites sources.
