An answer engine differs from an assistant in one respect that matters: it is supposed to show you where the answer came from. The useful test is not whether it cites, but whether the citation opens on a page that says what the answer claims it says.

What decides this category

Citation quality, and it is the one thing a vendor rarely publishes a number for. Every answer engine cites. The difference shows up when you open the link and check whether the page supports the sentence it was attached to.

Because no vendor publishes a figure for that, we do not print one either. What we can publish is what each tool says its free tier allows and where that is written down.

Why this is not filed under AI Chatbot

An assistant is bought to produce something. An answer engine is bought to find something and show its working. The overlap in technology is not an overlap in what a buyer is choosing between.

Profiles only, for now.
