Consensus (Pro)

Consensus does a specific thing well: it takes a question and tells you what the research says, with citations. It does not write fluff — you get a summary of what studies found and links to verify. For advertising, the use case is building defensible claims in strategy documents, category analyses, and new business pitches. The output style is tighter and more evidence-focused than Perplexity for academic content specifically, and the consensus meter — showing whether the research broadly agrees or is mixed — is a useful editorial shorthand. At $15/month it is low-cost relative to the time it saves on sourcing.
