Great question!  
The main difference is that Perplexity specializes in research, giving source-cited, up-to-date answers from across the whole web, while Grok is built for *conversational style*, real-time insights, and excels especially in coding, math, and social trends—mainly inside the X platform.

So, while Grok feels like a witty friend who’s plugged into X, Perplexity is more like a diligent research assistant that shows you exactly where its info comes from—just depends on what you’re looking for.
