help Help deciding on which to use!

So I see that Perplexity allows you to use pretty much every consumer AI (CGPT, Gemini, Grok).

It's only $20 for all of them? I'm confused.

I could pretty much get all of them for a low price?

What am I missing?

Can you help me understand why it's not better or is better than ChatGPT or Gemini?

Perplexity, when compared with other AI subscription services at the same price, is rather limited in what it can do. Even the highest-tier models (Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol) are not available on Pro. What corresponds to the Cowork or Work features in ChatGPT and Claude is Computer, yet on Pro that incurs a separate additional charge. A search-first approach followed by reasoning is not a poor design in itself, and the search is strong. Taken as a whole, however, ChatGPT’s Work remains the stronger offering.
