What it is

Positioned as an AI-first search engine with model choice and research modes. Useful when you want an answer plus sources without committing to one vendor's assistant. The results still depend on the underlying index, so it is not a replacement for primary sources on specialist topics.

Pricing

Free tier; Pro from about $15/mo
