Verdict
Perplexity is faster for synthesizing cited answers to factual questions and complex research queries, reducing the need to click through multiple sources. Google remains superior for navigational queries, freshness on breaking news, local search, and the sheer breadth of its index—the two tools are increasingly complementary rather than direct substitutes.
