Perplexity AI Review 2025: For Japanese Researchers
Perplexity AI has changed how many Japanese researchers and professionals search for information. After 8 months of daily use, here is our honest review.
What Makes Perplexity Different
Google: An index of the web. Returns links to pages that might answer your question.
Perplexity: An AI that reads those pages and synthesizes the answer with citations.
When Perplexity is Better Than Google
- Research questions: Synthesized answer with citations instead of 10 links to review
- Comparisons: Structured comparison table of tools or options
- Complex technical questions: Step-by-step with sources
- Current events: Synthesized news analysis with citations
When Google is Better
- You need to find a specific website
- Local search (restaurants nearby, store hours)
- Image search or shopping
Pro vs Free ($20/month)
The 5 Pro search/day limit becomes a problem for heavy researchers. Pro removes limits and adds file upload analysis, GPT-4o/Claude models, and API access.
