✓MIT licence — no vendor lock-in, full source ownership
✓Generative UI components make answers feel like Perplexity, not chat
✓Pluggable LLM and retrieval layers — works fully offline with Ollama + SearXNG
✓MCP client means you can plug in code execution, internal APIs and proprietary data

✗Self-hosting beyond Docker-compose needs real DevOps (auth, scaling, observability)
✗Retrieval quality is capped by your search provider — SearXNG is weaker than Tavily/Exa
✗Generative UI components need front-end work to extend tastefully
✗No managed enterprise support — you own everything you ship

✓Produces comprehensive, publish-ready research briefs that competitors don't match
✓8.3 average citations per response — more sourced than Perplexity Pro's 5.7
✓Completely ad-free means unbiased recommendations for product and health research
✓Super Agent can execute multi-step workflows from a single prompt
✓Free tier with 100 daily credits is generous enough for casual research

✗Noticeably slower than Google or Perplexity — depth costs speed
✗Citation accuracy at 82% trails Perplexity Pro's 94% — verify important claims
✗No public API as of early 2026, blocking developer integrations
✗Plus plan at $24.99/month is $5 more than Perplexity Pro for similar search use
✗Can strip forum discussion flavor into dry summaries, losing useful nuance
