FREE Perplexity Deep Research VS OpenAI Deep Research?!🤖 Save $200/Month! (+ NEW o3 & R1 Reasoning)

So guys I've been using the $200 a month chat GPT Pro Plan and really leveraging some of its new features like 01 Pro and most importantly deep research and if you guys aren't familiar deep research is an agent that uses reasoning to synthesize large amounts of online information and complete multi-a research tasks for you and it's going to deliver PhD level quality output but one of the main problems like I mentioned is that it is hidden behind a $200 a month

Pay wall from a Clos Source company so over the last 5 days on this channel I've gone over different ways on how you can use open- Source Alternatives like open source deep research another rapper which is a gooey interface for open- Source deep research web UI which is made by browser use which allows you to use any single llm with deep research and then skura is a video that I made yesterday which is an 100% free deep research alternative where you

Can literally go to their website right here and perform deep research without having to enter in your API keys or even log in but now there's a new kit on the Block that is allowing us to do deep research and guess what it's 100% for free now there are some limitations on the free plan which we'll dive into in just a second but this new player is perplexity which if you don't know has already been a huge Powerhouse when it comes

To research and doing queries that pull information from the web so in today's video I'm going to show you how you can do deep research with perplexity for free or for only $20 a month on their Pro Plan opposed to spending $200 a month with open AI deep research and we're going to run some different queries go over some different best practices with perplexities deep research and run that same deep research with open AIS and see how the quality of the

Output differs without Ado guys let's dive right into it all right guys so perplexity announced this deep research feature about 11 hours ago so now you can see deep research is available to everyone for free up to five queries per day for nonsubscribers and 500 queries per day for pro users now if you think that's a little bit low for the free plan let's just do some basic math here 5 * 30 which equals 150 and if you're not familiar with

Opening eyes deep research you're actually limited to a 100 queries a month so this actually beats the limitations of open AI just on the free plan and then on the paid plan you could actually do up to 15,000 queries every single month with perplexities deep research so very powerful stuff here so the CEO of perplexity here talking about deep research is now a commodity thanks to perplexity this gentleman is saying yo WTF open AI are asking for $200 a month when

This perplexity is giving it away this is insane another deep seek moment and opening eyes charging 10 times more than perplexities $20 a month or you can even use it on the free plan which is pretty cool and then perplexity also tweeted out deep research on perplexity scores 21.1% on Humanity's last exam outperforming Gemini thinking 03 mini 01 deep seek R1 and other top models we have also Al optimize deep research for Speed you can see here on this test we

Have open ai's deep research and then perplexity deep research with open AI getting about maybe a 26 and then perplexity getting around maybe a 21 22 and then you have 03 mini high medium R1 o1 uh and then the rest of the models right here so they mention in addition to attaining high scores on industry benchmarks deep research on perplexity completes most tasks in under 3 minutes and we're working to make it even faster and yes I can confirm like we'll

Show you in just a second their deep research is actually very quick and as you can see here it performs eight different searches 25 different steps 42 different sources so a lot of different uh sources that it's pulling for um from the web which is nice to see all right so all links I cover guys in today's video including the tweets as well as the blog posts and perplexity will be linked down below so here is the blog post that they

Actually published right here introducing deep research explaining how it works research with reasoning report writing export and share talking about when to use deep research um for different sectors technology current affairs Health biography travel going over the different tests right here simple QA runtime stat so all the stuff we mentioned in this blog post which will be linked down below now let's dive into perplexity deep research so first things first when you come to perplexity doai you'll see that you probably

Don't have deep research on yet so all you do to get it is you simply click on this drop down and you'll see that you have PR search deep research so PR search do three times more sources and detailed answers deep research does in-depth reports on complex topics you also have reasoning with R1 if you guys missed this deep uh it has r1's reasoning capabilities hosted in the US which is very powerful and then reasoning with 03 mini so opening eyes

Newest model reasoning so these two are very powerful as well but we're going to go ahead of course and use deep research now also to for the sources right here you can set different sources so let's say if we just wanted to do research on something like Reddit right here so social discussions and options we could do that we wanted to do just academic papers or you know all across the web blogs whatnot or just if we wanted to do all

I'm going to leave them all toggled for now also too guys if you come over here to your settings Cog keep in mind that if you are on the Pro Plan then you can actually change your AI model right here so you could use uh Claud Sonet 3.5 you could use GPT 40 Gro 2 Gemini 2.0 flash a perplexity saer or Auto so we'll just keep it at Claud Sonet 3.5 here all right so we got our first query right here

And I'm actually just going to toggle off social for this one just cuz I tend to find when you have this toggled on you're going to get a lot of different Reddit citations opposed to actual blogs and articles and whatnot so our query here is perplexity new deep research versus opening eyes deep research an in-depth comparison Pros versus cons what one is better why you may want to use one or the other $200 per month versus $20 per month or free

And more okay we're going to go ahead and click on search here okay so you can see that it's actually going about doing its research plan right here so I need to search the web to find comparative information between perplexity new deep research and open ai's deep research so we can see that it's generating different search queries right here so perplexity deep research versus open AI deep research and then it's reading different blog posts and different information on the web here

So then it's doing another step right here so we can see here from previous search I found General comparisons between perplexity and open Ai and as you can see you could go ahead and read through this these are its learnings that it's getting from the previous search and then it's doing other searches based on those learnings and what it needs to get reading more information doing another step right here and continuously on doing another step and another step right now until

It actually ends up completing the Deep research so you could also enable desktop notifications to get a notification when it's done but we're going to go ahead and wait here now while this is actually going and we're waiting for it to finish I'm going to do the exact same query on open ai's deep research so I'm going to go to opening eye here we're going to use 03 mini high for the model and of course we're toggling on deep research and

I'm just going to paste in this exact same prompt now we're going to click Send here and the one thing that I will say that opening AI deep research does and some of the other open- source ones that I've covered on this channel do as well is when you actually initially query it it's going to ask you some full out questions and personally I really like this because it allows you to provide more context to the Deep research to get the

Best quality output all right so it's actually asking me what specific aspects do we want to cover in this comparison and it's giving me some different examples like accuracy and depth speed user interface and ease of use I'm just going to say cover all of that and more there's a bunch here so I really want to showcase how powerful deep research is so now we can see that open AI deep research has started and now we can go back over to

Perplexity and we can see that its deep research has complete so if we toggle these down we can see that it took let's see it took a bunch of different steps here like 1 2 3 9 10 11 so 11 different steps and then it started writing its research report here so we can see 53 different sources this is a lot of different sources it pulled from and perplexity has always been very strong when it comes to actually research now we

Can see here comparative analysis of perplexity deep research and open AI deep research capabilities costs and strategic application right I'm not going to read through this all of course we can see executive summary right here accuracy and benchmarks so so Benchmark results technical capabilities right here features and functionality research workflows so we can see a table comparison chart right here going over model architecture Source integration output format customization one thing I will say with opening eyes deep research is that you

Can use the 03 model which is in my opinion a lot more powerful than these models right here so you're technically you should get a better output and then Source integration so 100 plus sources per query academic heavy and then perplexity 50 plus sources uh including real time and forms and then output format so with opening eyes structured reports with charts citations perplexities concise summaries with inline citations and then customization limited preset templates will perplex these file uploads model switching API

Access yeah now unfortunately looking at perplex these docs they just include chat completions within uh the API from what I can see so doesn't look like you can do deep research which would be cool if they allowed that through the API I think that would be cool for both tools are you tired of pouring thousands of dollars into appointment Setters only to watch leads slip away imagine having a team of elite sales agents booking qualified appointments for you around Around the

Clock no more wasted time on training no more frustration with performance and no more draining your budget on inconsistent and expensive call centers introducing stride agents AI powered appointment centers that work 24/7 never get tired and book appointments while you sleep trained on thousands of successful conversations our AI agents El performed human teams at just one tenth of the cost join the ranks of businesses that doubled their appointments and booking rates in just a matter of weeks don't get left behind

In the AI reevolu solution visit stride agents.com now and transform your entire sales process with cuttingedge AI technology it's time to accelerate your stride with AI agents all right so cost efficiency analysis use case suitability for academic research professional environments casual use limitations and tradeoffs conclusion this the proarch says the conclusion is open AI if your work demands rigorous accuracy academic publishing legal analysis and then budget permits $200 a month for High State queries and then choose perplexity if speed and

Cost efficiency are priorities like startups journalists T involve real time data and then customization model switching Etc now if we copy the perplexity output here and paste it over here we can see that it got 682 words so 5,450 characters and from what I can see unfortunately I don't think it shows you how long the Deep research took but just to give you an estimate I would say it took around 3 to 5 minutes now opening eyes will show you how

Long it took and looking back here we can see that it is still doing its deep research right here and it already has 19 sources so it seems like it pulls a lot less sources typically but it's going to be a lot more in-depth okay and boom it is now complete we can see that it took 8 minutes and did 19 different sources so we can see perplexity deep research versus open AI deep research a comprehensive comparison it has a table

Chart right here going over way more details such as accuracy depth speed user interface query handling cost and access sources and citations best use cases AI capabilities limitations unique features and then each one of those has an individual long section with bunch of different sources as you can see here so it goes over a lot of different info I'm just scrolling very quickly as you can see okay and then at the very end a pros and cons summary so it goes

Over different things as well going over the pros the cons for each specific one and then a conclusion for which platform you should choose so of course this is a lot more in depth if we go ahead and paste this over here we can see that this whole entire report is 13,17 words and 84,600 of course if you can't afford or don't want to pay $200 per month I think the perplexity free or $20 a month plan is something that is

Really good and powerful of course if you want really deep intricate research around a specific topic or domain I think you really can't be open AI deep research at the moment even after doing a video on pretty much every deep research tool or open deep research tool I can definitely say open AI is definitely the strongest but at the same time you only get 100 queries per month you don't always need something that is super super powerful and PhD level quality

So perplexity gives you a lot more searches and it's going to be shorter and more concise even though it is getting a bunch of different sources and I think that it's great that we're seeing more and more different companies or different projects come out with deep research because I've been using deep research these last couple weeks and it is super super powerful and honestly game-changing so I hope you guys are using it too if so let me know what your thoughts

Are in the comments down below between what is the ultimate deep research companion is it open AI $200 a month plan or is it perplexities free or $20 a month plan or is it some of the open source ones that I've covered on this channel and if you haven't seen those I definitely recommend checking those other videos out that's pretty much it for this video guys if you're new here we upload videos all the time on ai ai agents AI coding
