“Research AI” covers very different tools. Before choosing, decide which job you are hiring it for: finding answers, getting a whole task done, or working inside your own documents.
Perplexity: answers with sources
Perplexity Pro ($27 a month with us) answers questions with the sources it used. It includes Deep Research and Pro search, your choice of frontier AI models, and access to Perplexity Computer. It’s the fastest way to go from a question to a verified answer.
Manus: an agent that finishes the job
Manus Pro ($270) is a general AI agent: you describe a task and it works through it on its own, from long research to building websites and slides. The plan includes 40,000 credits a month, Wide Research, and up to 20 tasks at once plus 20 scheduled ones.
Notion AI: inside your workspace
Notion Business ($32.40) is the Notion plan that includes Notion AI and the Notion Agent, AI meeting notes and enterprise search across your connected tools. It shines when your knowledge already lives in Notion.
Which one?
- You need reliable answers, fast, with sources: Perplexity.
- You want deliverables (a report, a site, a deck) produced for you: Manus.
- Your notes, docs and meetings are in Notion: Notion AI.
A workflow that combines them
- Explore with Perplexity: map the question and collect sources you can check.
- Delegate with Manus: turn the findings into a report, a site or a deck while you do something else.
- Keep it in Notion: store the result where your team works, and let Notion AI search it later.
Credits versus flat plans
Perplexity and Notion are flat plans. Manus counts credits: 40,000 a month on Pro, used by the tasks you run. Long, open-ended tasks use more credits than short, precise ones, so a clear brief goes further.
