How does Perplexity rate among others of its kind?
I've noticed some changes with Perplexity over the past - almost - year. My subscription will be ending in a month or two and I'm wondering if I should be staying with Perplexity, or if another platform is more suited to my needs due to these recent changes.
I do a lot of historical research with Perplexity. It helps me fine tune my research targets. I also write blog entries with my research so I use Perplexity to first check for grammatical errors and then I ask it to check for historical accuracy.
I don't want it writing my entries for me. I need it for mostly research and checking my writing and helping to create a bibliography for my readers, as a specific example.
Is Perplexity the AI Platform for this job from this point forward? (due to my subscription coming to an end soon... not sure if I should re-up or look elsewhere).
I want a platform that does deep research with me, and that has a price range similar to Perplexity's rate per year. So like, $200 a year is what I think I paid.
I would also like the platform to create AI imagery, which I have come to understand Perplexity does, but I have yet to explore.
Would you folks have the time to suggest alternatives and to qualify your suggestions with a few statements about why it might better suit my needs than Perplexity?
Also, if Perplexity is the way to go, just say so. I need the best tool at the best price point to be my assistant through my research. I do not use the Computer option. I have only used the search and deep search options so far.
Thanks so much
