Pros & Cons

Perplexity Comet

  • Genuinely free browser with no account required for basic use, following the October 2025 pricing reversal
  • Perplexity Pro subscribers get Comet Plus included at no extra charge
  • Available across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android for broad accessibility
  • Was originally a $200/month Max-only product before going free just four months later
  • Autonomous Background Assistants require the substantial $200/month Max plan
  • Premium publisher content requires the additional $5/month Comet Plus subscription

Andi Search

  • Faster to get a direct answer than scanning a traditional results page
  • Supports conversational follow-up questions
  • Provides citations for verifying synthesized answers
  • Answer reliability depends entirely on the quality and transparency of cited sources
  • Faces much better-funded competition from newer answer-engine products
  • Best treated as a starting point rather than a final source for anything important
