Second tool, never the first

Used daily for 6–12 months

Tried to run on Perplexity alone for a month as an experiment. Research was better than anything else; everything else was worse. Now I pay for two subscriptions and use each for what it is good at, which is obvious in hindsight.

Pros

Best-in-class for factual lookup and current information.

Cons

Not a general assistant. Multi-turn conversations lose the thread quickly.

Free tier is enough for occasional use

Used weekly for 1–2 years

As a consultant I need current facts a few times a week, not daily. The free tier covers that comfortably and the citations mean I can drop a source straight into a client deck. I upgraded for two months during a heavy project and downgraded after.

Pros

Genuinely useful free tier. Easy to pay only for the months you need.

Cons

Rivals have added web search with citations, which narrows the advantage.
