How does SuperBrain compare to Perplexity for company research?

Perplexity is excellent at quick Q&A grounded in web sources. For company research specifically, SuperBrain goes further in a few ways.

What Perplexity gives you

  • A conversational answer synthesized from a live web search
  • Inline citations to the sources used for that answer
  • Fast turnaround — seconds per question

What SuperBrain adds

Cross-source contradictions. SuperBrain explicitly compares official claims (company website) against public signal (LinkedIn, X, news) and surfaces the discrepancies. Perplexity will summarize what sources say; SuperBrain tells you where they disagree.

A typed data record, not just an answer. Every report is a structured CompanyInsight — summary, headcount, 30-day hiring growth, sentiment score, competitors with overlap ratings, contradictions, sources. That record is published as a cited.md entry AND as a federated GraphQL subgraph via Wundergraph Cosmo. Downstream agents can query it as structured data, not parse a chat response.

Monetization. The deep-research section of every SuperBrain report is unlocked by a 1 USDC x402 micropayment. Perplexity's model is subscription- and ad-based.

When to pick which

  • Ad-hoc single question → Perplexity
  • Structured intelligence record, cross-referenced, cited, federated, monetizable → SuperBrain

We browse. We structure. We cite. We publish.
