Our take
Pick Felo if researchers and operators who will pay Pro so more than the daily 200-credit Free bonus can become slides or LiveDocs. Pick Perplexity if researchers, analysts, and anyone who wants a sourced first pass before opening ten tabs. Skip Perplexity if teams that cannot send queries to Perplexity, or users who need a repo-aware IDE (Cursor) or a local runtime (Ollama).
