Comments and Reviews
It's a good alternative to Perplexity.ai. Just so you know, Scira isn't fully free anymore and now has paid plans like others.
Quite comparable in results to Perplexity.ai.
The free trial is much slower, but I'm sure if you paid for something like Grok 2, it would be faster than the free version of Perplexity.
The answers are a bit long compared to Perplexity, and neither are really that useful yet if you know how to do a basic search. They find things at the top of the results. Nothing more specific than you can find easily by a basic search.
