What our research says

Andi

Worth keeping as a private, ad-free second opinion next to Google, and it genuinely predates most of the AI-search wave. Answer depth and follow-up reasoning still sit behind Perplexity; the new usage-priced Search API and MCP server make the same index usable from code, though its rate card is not published up front.

Pros

  • Free with no ads, no sign-up and no personal-data tracking
  • Chrome extension and PWA make it easy to set as the default engine
  • Answers carry source citations and low-quality pages are filtered out
  • Search API and remote MCP server expose the same index to developers

Cons

  • Small team competing against very well-funded rivals
  • No team workspace, export or saved-research features in the consumer app
  • Handles complex, chained questions less well than Perplexity
  • API pricing is outcome-based with no published per-query rate card

GPTGO

A thin front-end that calls Google and a chat model on your behalf, useful only if you want both on one page without logging in anywhere. Perplexity does the same job with real citations and free ChatGPT already browses the web, so the case for this has largely evaporated since 2023.

Pros

  • Zero friction: no login, no key, no quota prompt
  • Keeps conventional search results next to the generated answer rather than replacing them
  • Mobile apps exist for both iOS and Android

Cons

  • No company, jurisdiction or contact is published anywhere on the site
  • The underlying model and its version are never named, so answer quality cannot be audited
  • Generated answers are not source-attributed the way Perplexity's are
  • Ownership of the mobile apps sits under a different name (UniChat / UniAPI) than the website brand

Which one fits

Choose Andi if you need

  • Privacy-conscious users who want no account and no tracking
  • Quick factual lookups where you want to see the sources
  • Developers wiring web search into AI agents through an API or MCP server

Choose GPTGO if you need

  • Getting a chat answer plus source links without creating an account
  • Users in settings where signing up for a model provider is awkward
  • Casual multilingual lookups where accuracy is not load-bearing
