Better then most of the similar programs > > **Cons**: When you using the voice communication you can’t be understood if there is some noise in the background. > > I advise this application because it’s very easy and handy to use. Can use for work or for fun and it always helps you, specially when you most need it\! ----- ### "Excellent research and analysis assistant." — 5.0/5 > **Prachi** | *18 January 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very detailed academic responses to questions, with sources clearly listed. Excellent for research and analysis. > > **Cons**: Responses are less creative. There should also be a way to access the chatbot offline without connectivity. > > Excellent for academic analysis and research. Sources are cited which makes it easier to trust responses. ----- ### "Designing experiments with AI models" — 4.0/5 > **Waheed Ahmad** | *9 December 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am a researcher and this app has helped me organise my literature and experiments in a great way. In addition, I am using the app daily for generating emails and refining them so that it gives consistency to my email. I like the way it reasons scientifically and can give one actual research papers. > > **Cons**: I feel with the advent of new AI model like ChatGPT 5.1 and Grok4.1, it is somehow lagging behind. In addition to this, the feature of not being able to generate word or pdf files is something that I do not like. > > My overall experience is great. I am using this daily in my life for organising my experiments, designing new experiments and take a hold of literature in my field. I also use it for analysis of my scientific data like growth curves, PCR, genomics and proteomics. ----- ### "Like having my personal assistant who knows where to find and how to fix everything" — 5.0/5 > **M. Cristina** | *25 May 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works more like a search engine than an AI and give you all the links to the fonts from where the info comes, so that you can check first hand if the source is reliable. > > **Cons**: It is just more psychological than anything else, I feel very ambivalent towards AI, I do not like the way they use artists' work to train AI, so I am a bit against, but Perplexity uses AI to find stuff, rather than to rip artists off. Or this is at least my impression. > > I started using Perplexity to experiment with AI but I soon realised that it was a great search tool, much better than Google: it doesn't flood you with advertisement or paid ads and gives you always relevant results, but the best feature is the direct link to the sources, so that you can judge yourself whether they are reliable, and so far, they always were. And it really helps with finding obscure stuff on the web, stuff that would have taken me 30 minutes, Perplexity takes a few seconds. And another great function is that I can upload pictures, for example, it happened that I had an issue with my computer, I uploaded the screenshot and Perplexity delivered the solution, explaining me exactly how to fix the error. ----- ### "Pro subscription, now denied access." — 1.0/5 > **blair** | *24 May 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a mobile app, and web access via their web-page. They have an incognito mode that protects the data for your queries. There was no ads interfering with my productivity. The AI gave decent answers. Their AI engine can answer your question, or it can cycle between several other proprietary AIs, picking the best AI to answer your question's specifics. Image creation worked. I disliked creations, but perhaps I am poor at prompting. To me it failed to understand what I wanted, so each creation was a bit unexpected, whether pleasantly, or negatively. > > **Cons**: I had a pro account, 1 year paid subscription. By the 4th month of my 12 month subscription, perplexity changed the sign in requirements which blocked my access. They did a system update and now required mobile SMS verification; which was something they previously did not require. I do not have a mobile phone so I could not comply. Support refused to help me and would simply repeat "SMS verification is now a requirement to access account". This was a breach of our contract. I find them to be cavalier with their customers and consumer protection laws, and as such, I cannot trust renewing my subscription with them and have wasted a lot of time and money. > > The AI worked satisfactorily, but the consumer service was useless. So it is not a good value for the money. It has poor customer support. But it was easy to use and helpful while I was permitted access. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1058833/perplexity?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1058833/perplexity) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
