Per-Model Verdicts

How each AI model independently evaluated the two websites

GPT
GPT-5 Mini
Prefers Google18 vs 82
Google projects far stronger trust and authority: it displays extensive third‑party validation, global brand recognition, clear legal/privacy pages, numerous product pages and partnerships, and obvious track record indicators. Perplexity shows a polished product interface and innovation signals but lacks visible client logos, broad social proof, formal credentials, or clear company/track‑record details in the provided content.

Prefers Perplexity AI78 vs 22
Perplexity AI's value proposition is clear as a question-answering AI with multiple functionalities. Google's webpages provided are disparate and do not present a cohesive single company or product, making it difficult to assess a 'company' for comparison.
