Pros and cons

Fellou

Pros

  • Shows an editable plan before executing, with approve, pause and stop controls on each step.
  • Combines browser automation, deep research and local computer control in one app.
  • Displays estimated Spark cost before a workflow runs, according to a reviewer.
  • Free tier and a $19/month entry plan make it cheap to try.
  • Open-source Eko framework (MIT) from the same team for custom agents.

Cons

  • Reviewers report it can loop or stall on complex or dynamic layouts and cannot reliably get past CAPTCHAs.
  • Credit-based pricing: the Free plan's 1,000 Sparks cover only about 4 tasks, and cost varies with workflow length.
  • No mobile app found; desktop only.
  • Page context is processed by cloud AI, which security commentators flag as an attack-surface and privacy concern.

Perplexity

Pros

  • Every answer links to numbered sources, so claims are easy to check
  • Free plan includes search with citations
  • Paid plans offer a choice of advanced models from several providers
  • Available on web, iOS, Android and through a developer API
  • Separate Comet browser integrates the assistant into browsing

Cons

  • Free plan is limited to 3 Pro Searches per day and 1 Research query per month
  • Pro and Max limits are described as weekly or monthly allowances rather than fixed numbers
  • Max costs $200 per month, and Enterprise Max costs $325
  • Answers can still contain errors, so the cited sources need checking
