Perplexity vs. ChatGPT vs. Team-GPT: Which AI Platform Is the Best? [Reviewed]

Are you looking for a generative AI platform for your professional and/or organizational needs and trying to decide between Perplexity vs. ChatGPT?

Both AI tools have unique strengths and use cases, which I’ll explain in depth in this article to help you make an informed decision.

In this guide, I’ll review both Perplexity’s and ChatGPT’s key features, pricing models, and verified reviews of customers who have used the platforms.

However, I see more and more companies preferring a more team-oriented and customizable AI platform, which is why I’ll introduce a third option: Team-GPT (our AI software).

Let’s start by diving into each software’s features. 👇

Perplexity vs. ChatGPT vs. Team-GPT – Features

In this section, we’ll review the key features of each AI platform and go over their use cases, and weaknesses.

Team-GPT Features

Team-GPT is an enterprise-grade collaboration AI software that lets you chat with any AI model, organize prompts, and add your custom AI model.

Our tool lets you use and customize AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, LLaMA, and Perplexity to collaborate with your team in a secure environment.

Let’s go over the features that our users love most about Team-GPT: ⤵️

Feature #1: Customize a Better Version of ChatGPT

Your team can use ChatGPT on Team-GPT’s platform and tailor it to your needs.

After that, you can use your own version of ChatGPT or Perplexity for tasks, such as:

• Drafting SEO-optimized content briefs and generating article content.
• Writing social media posts and email campaigns in your brand’s tone.
• Editing and finalizing articles with Pages and Edit with AI.
• Generating advertising copy for marketing campaigns.

You can speed up your writing with our pre-made prompts, use cases, and editable AI Pages.

Here’s why teams love our platform:

• A shared workspace where your team can collaborate in chats and documents with AI in real-time from a single platform.
• Smart AI-powered editing to improve your writing, fix your grammar, and refine your text.
• Organized and shared content, ensuring quick access to chats and pages for all your team members.
• Managing your content by turning any chat into a document or starting a new conversation from a Page.

It is possible to create custom instructions for ChatGPT and other writing tools so that the AI models know how to generate content and what tone to use. 

You can add instructions for brand voice, language, and writing style to scale your content generation without heavily editing it.

Feature #2: AI Toolkit

Our AI solution offers a wide range of AI tools that you can leverage to handle all kinds of simple and complex tasks.

These operations include:

• A repository of 100+ pre-made use cases and prompts to help you get started. All of these can be tailored and your team can create your own.

• Personas: You can prompt Team-GPT’s chat to act as a specialist in a certain area (e.g., marketing specialist) and provide you with expert insights into the topic you’re interested in or to personalize content to a specific audience.
• Customized prompt library: Save the prompts your team uses the most. This makes navigation easier for your team and helps our tool learn what you need and want.
• Image generator. Team-GPT also provides access to DALL-E 3 to generate any kind of image you need without leaving its interface.

• Doc and image analysis lets you conduct any kind of written text or image through careful and detailed analysis, resulting in curated insights and highlights. You can also prompt Team-GPT to further edit, change, and enhance your files.

Feature #3: Usage Analytics

With Team-GPT, you can access usage reports showing the total number of messages, user engagement, chats, and active users.

This lets you track your investment and use of AI across your organization.

You can improve the AI adoption in your company by:

• Understanding your team’s patterns and ensuring a smooth transition to AI-powered workflows.
• Accessing insightful graphs that showcase your team’s Active Users, Chat Efficiency, Token Usage, and more.
• Improving conversations’ quality by evaluating the effectiveness of chat sessions across your company’s workspace.
• Identifying team members who require training and need to learn how to prompt the AI models better.

Feature #4: Enterprise-Grade Security

We built Team-GPT with enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance in mind.

You can create your version of Team-GPT but deploy it on your hosting infrastructure. 

You can hold all your data, whether on-premise or in a private cloud while using all your preferred AI models. 

The software is deployed on your servers and lets you effortlessly onboard marketing employees into the platform.

With Team-GPT Enterprise, your enterprise can: 

• Retain control and flexibility over your data.
• Apply security filters and have control of the platform with admin rights and report access.
• Prioritize privacy and protection, as Team-GPT is committed to all GDPR compliance standards and holds SOC II and ISO 27001 certifications.

Team-GPT is the right choice if you:

✅ Operate in a team environment and are looking to adopt AI in your organization.

✅ Are looking to bring your custom AI model to the collaborative software.

✅ Want to host the AI solution on your premises to retain control and flexibility of your data.

✅ Want to train your own version of ChatGPT or another AI model like Perplexity for your organization.

Team-GPT isn’t the best option if you:

❌ Operate alone or operate in an organization of less than 10 people (Team-GPT’s pricing starts from 10 users).

❌ Are looking for a free AI platform to use like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Team-GPT has no free plan.

Perplexity’s Features

Perplexity is a generative AI platform that can be used for content creation, code generation and data analysis.

The platform stands out with its above-average trainability and topic research capabilities, which is why it has been widely adopted as an AI model.

Generative AI Platform

You can use Perplexity for a variety of business-related tasks, such as:

• Producing social media content, such as generating LinkedIn posts.
• Producing research-backed article content with sources included.
• Analyzing large data sets.
• Making decisions based on the data and information the tool has been provided.

All of your prompts will then be stored in Perplexity’s Threads Library, where you can see previous conversations.

💡What stands out about Perplexity’s prompting experience is that the platform recommends related prompts that you can ask the tool.

Access Multiple LLMs

Unlike ChatGPT and similar to Team-GPT, Perplexity lets you access multiple LLMs apart from its own AI model.

If you are on Perplexity’s Pro plan, you will also get access to:

• GPT-4 Omni: The latest model of OpenAI that gives you access to its advanced reasoning and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities.
• Claude 3 Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku: Despite the limited daily usage, you can use Claude’s natural-sounding responses.
• Sonar Large 32k: Based on Llama 3.4, the model brings conciseness and accuracy.
• Grok-2: The latest model from x-AI, which gives you access to its advanced AI model, even though you will not be able to generate images on Perplexity.

You can access these AI models if you create a Space for yourself or your team (more on that later).

Upload PDFs, CSV Files, Images & Text Documents

You can upload files, such as PDFs, CSVs, text documents, and images to analyze their contents using GPT-4 Omni and Claude 3.

This functionality allows you to extract insights and use AI to analyze data from different files for business and academic purposes.

The way it works is that users drag and drop files into the search bar of Perplexity and then the AI platform summarizes the content or provides answers to your specific questions.

➡️ As a writer, I like uploading my first drafts into GPT-4 Omni to receive feedback from the platform to improve my overall writing.

Perplexity is the right choice if you:

✅ Are looking for a free AI platform to use that gives you limited usage to its Pro plan.

✅ Want to use different AI models, such as GPT-4o and Claude.

✅ Are looking for a reliable platform that bases its prompts on research with sources.

✅ Are looking for a platform that lets you collaborate with your team inside Spaces. 

Perplexity isn’t the best option if you:

❌ Want to retain complete control and flexibility over your data by deploying it on your data infrastructure.

❌ Are looking to bring your own custom AI model to the platform.

💡 You can bring Perplexity into Team-GPT with its API and adopt AI alongside your team.

ChatGPT Features

ChatGPT offers a similar generative AI solution to Perplexity with its advanced AI model that lets you prompt and generate content, code, and images.

Generative AI Software

ChatGPT lets you use its advanced generative AI solution for professional tasks, such as:

• Generating articles and social media content.
• Creating images from prompts.
• Analyzing large data sets.
• Summarizing text and brainstorming information.
• Analyzing images and helping you write better.
• Generating code and helping you understand complex programming concepts.

You will then get access to a prompt history where you can see previous prompts.

GPTs

ChatGPT lets you gain access to its GPTs, where you can discover a wide variety of AI use cases and versions of the platform.

These GPTs are built for a range of tasks, such as:

• Writing GPTs to enhance your writing with purpose-built AI models for creating, editing and refining content.
• Productivity GPTs to design images, create videos, build presentations, and generate PDF files.
• Research and analysis GPTs to summarize videos, conduct deep research on complex topics, and find data points.

You Can Create Your Custom GPT

Similar to Team-GPT, ChatGPT allows you to build your custom GPT and share it with your team or the world.

The platform lets you create a custom AI model that combines custom instructions, extra knowledge, and any combination of skills.

For example, you can create a custom GPT to perform specific tasks for your job or to generate on-brand images.

ChatGPT is the right choice if you:

✅ Work alone and are looking for a free AI platform to use, similar to Perplexity.

✅ Are looking to customize a custom AI model for your professional or organizational needs.

✅ Are looking to adopt AI alongside your organization with ChatGPT Enterprise.

✅ Want to use a variety of other GPTs for different purposes.

ChatGPT isn’t the best option if you:

❌ Want to deploy the AI model on your data infrastructure.

❌ Want to use different AI models with your organization

💡 You can bring ChatGPT and its advanced models into Team-GPT with OpenAI’s API and adopt AI alongside your team.

Perplexity vs. ChatGPT vs. Team-GPT – Team Collaboration Capabilities

Now that we have gone over the 3 AI platforms’ core features, I’ll now over each tool’s team collaboration capabilities for enterprises looking to adopt AI.

Team-GPT’s Collaboration Capabilities

Team-GPT helps you boost your team’s collaboration with real-time generative AI and collaboration features.

Our enterprise AI solution gives your team an interactive workspace in which you can collaborate in chats, prompts, and threads.

Your team can master AI with our shared learning path feature, allowing you to share insights and support each other.

💡 Within the team chats, you can organize your marketing information in folders and sub-folders to find the information you need at any time.

Team leaders appreciate being able to see the interactions that their teams are having with the AI and be able to join them.

You can send messages to your members, leave comments, attach files, and continue the conversation with AI tools.

And all of that is available with all major AI models. Your team does not have to be limited to only one model.

For example, you can use all of Claude’s models, including Haiku, Opus, and Sonnet, as well as the latest ChatGPT models, such as GPT 4 Turbo and GPT-4o.

Perplexity’s Collaboration Capabilities

You can now collaborate with your team on Perplexity’s Spaces where your team can create dedicated areas for organizing research, and prompts, and collaborate on projects.

Your team can upload files to the Space and then your team can prompt Perplexity about those files.

➡️ If you operate in a large organization, your new team members can use Perplexity as an internal knowledge base and ask the tool for information about your files.

Perplexity also allows you to add custom instructions for Perplexity based on how you want the model to respond within your Space.

That means the AI model’s output can match your organizational tone, writing style, and project requirements.

💡 However, when I compared Perplexity’s Enterprise Pro to Team-GPT’s collaboration features, I found that Perplexity does not offer:

❌ Shared chats inside the workspace.

❌ A library of custom prompts for you and your team.

❌ Folders and organizational structures.

❌ Advanced usage reports, unlike Team-GPT.

ChatGPT’s Collaboration Capabilities

ChatGPT has collaboration features for enterprises looking to adopt AI across their organization with its Team and Enterprise plans.

The platform lets your team access ChatGPT-4 with a 32K context window and get access to AI platforms like DALL-E 3, Vision, Browsing and Advanced Data Analysis with higher message caps.

ChatGPT offers a secure workspace for your organization that has no training on your business data or conversations.

You can create and share custom GPTs with your team and build a custom version of the platform for business purposes.

The platform also lets you get access to an admin console for workspace and team management, as well as early access to new features and improvements.

Inside ChatGPT Enterprise, you will also get access to a comprehensive analytics dashboard, group permissions, and access to the tool’s compliance API.

💡 However, when ChatGPT is compared to Team-GPT’s collaboration features, I found that the enterprise tool does not offer:

❌ Shared chats inside the workspace.

❌ A library of custom prompts.

❌ Folders and organizational structures.

❌ Unlimited access to GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo, unlike Team-GPT.

Winner: Team-GPT’s collaboration capabilities stand out from Perplexity and ChatGPT with our tool’s shared chats inside the workspace, custom prompt library, and the ability to host the solution on your premises.

Additionally, our collaborative AI platform lets you onboard and educate new employees with Team-GPT’s AI training resources.

Pricing – Perplexity vs. ChatGPT vs. Team-GPT

Now that we’re familiar with the platforms’ capabilities and collaboration features, it’s time to figure out which pricing model works for your or your organization’s budget.

Team-GPT Pricing

Team-GPT bases its pricing on seats per month, and there is no free plan.

Our platform has two pricing plans:

Business: $20/month/user for a minimum of 10 users, which is ideal for SMEs, and includes:

• Collaborative workspace.

Perplexity Pricing

Perplexity’s pricing offers a free forever plan that offers unlimited quick searches and up to 5 Pro searches per day.

To get access to more Pro searches and the tool’s collaboration features, you’d have to be one of Perplexity’s 3 paid plans:

• Pro Plan: $20/month, which gives you access to 300+ Pro searches. You can select from various advanced AI models, upload and analyze unlimited files, and visualize answers using image-generation tools.
