Perplexity Comet isn’t a search engine—it’s an autonomous research agent. Tell it to research a market, competitor, or technology, and it delivers a structured report with verified citations.
How It Works
Comet opens websites, reads pages, synthesizes across sources, and delivers structured output. In testing, it produced an 1,800-word SaaS pricing analysis with comparison tables and source links in 12 minutes.
Citation Accuracy
Spot-checking six citations from a research report—all verified. This level of accuracy is rare among AI research tools.
Limitations
- Can be slow on deep browsing tasks
- Occasionally hits paywalled content without clear notification
- May summarize pages that have been updated since last crawl
Pricing
$20/month on Pro tier. Same price as Netflix, but infinitely more useful for anyone doing regular research.
Verdict
Best-in-class for systematic research tasks. The citation accuracy and structured output justify the price for professionals.
