Our take
Pick Genspark if operators who want one workspace for agents, slides, and sheets and will burn a monthly credit pool. 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).
