- The trial is 7 days and 2,500 words, and no refunds are offered
Perplexity
- Context window has been stealthily reduced despite prior claims of 1-million-token capacity
- Citations sometimes point to irrelevant or overly general articles that do not support the stated claims
- Weak performance on complex multi-step reasoning and deep logic compared to dedicated reasoning LLMs
- Web crawler ignores robots.txt directives and scrapes content from sites that explicitly opted out
- Pro subscription quotas and feature access quietly reduced without user notification
