Personally, I stick with GPT-4o for general use and Claude 3 Opus for creativity-focused work.

you might also change that to Playground 2.5 orStable Diffusion XL.

I find Stable Diffusion XLs output more satisfying.

Unfortunately, this feature is not available in the mobile app.

The Playground allows you to test a wider array of AI models and compare their performance.

you could start a conversation with one model and switch to another midway through.

In contrast, Perplexity gives you a clear limit of 300 Pro Searches daily.

This can be 300 questions in a single sitting over a two-hour window.

Pro Searchis a unique feature in Perplexity that analyzes the intent of your question to provide an optimized answer.

Perplexity can handle this in one session, whereas other chatbots might require breaks, disrupting your workflow.

However, you dont need to use Perplexity solely as a search engine.

you might also use it as a simple chatbot.

To do this, tap on Focus>Writing before asking Perplexity a question.

This flexibility makes Perplexity an excellent tool for both web searches and pure AI chatbot interactions.

Meanwhile, Claude lacks internet access altogether.

As you’re free to imagine, this is a huge waste of time!

Perplexity saves all chats (which it calls “Threads”) inside its Library.

From here it’s possible for you to use the search bar to browse through old threads.

Search Through All Perplexity Threads Inside The Library

However, the main feature I want to spotlight is Collections.

It helps you organize and group all your threads, making them easier to find when you need them.

So, lets say you are planning a trip to Bali.

Perplexity Collection of Threads on Planning Trip to Bali

Youll most likely search for different things in the planning process.

A couple of search threads might be dedicated to finding the best places to sight-see.

Then theres searching for the best restaurants, the best hotels, best places to buy souvenirs, etc.

Sharing a Perplexity Collection

Unfortunately, this feature is absent in Claude and other chatbots, but Perplexity fills this gap.
