Our take

For researching Dubai market conditions, Perplexity AI is hard to beat — just watch the billing.

UAE agents researching off-plan project launches, RERA regulations, or competitor pricing will find Perplexity Pro indispensable. The cited sources feature alone makes it more trustworthy than ChatGPT for factual queries. The G2 scores reflect its product quality; the Trustpilot score reflects a billing and cancellation experience that needs improvement.

Our verdict

G2 rates Perplexity 4.7/5 from 47 reviews — a strong score from business users who value accuracy. However, Trustpilot's 1.6/5 from 180 reviews tells a different story, dominated by subscription billing complaints and reports of difficulty cancelling. This split is common among AI subscription tools and typically reflects the frustration of users who signed up for free trials and found cancellation difficult rather than product quality issues per se.
