We track 19 Analytics & Data tools, and every price below is verified against the vendor's public pricing page — no estimates, no affiliate ordering. Alternatives are ranked by transparent published pricing first, then by entry price.
Just need an LLM without web search? OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google APIs. Need to control the search index? Build your own with Kagi or Brave Search API + an LLM. Consumer web search interface? Regular Perplexity, not the API.
Entry price alone rarely decides a migration: check the per-seat step-ups, the usage limit caps, and how often each vendor has raised prices before switching away from Sonar (Perplexity).
