Choose it when: You want cited answers from a research-first interface.
What changes: Re-ask the queries; no data export path is documented for the switch.
What you give up: Genspark's plan prices are public in USD on its help centre — Free $0; Plus $24.99/month, or $19.99/month billed annually at $239.99/year; Pro $249.99/month, or $199.99/month billed annually at $2,399.99/year; Team $35 per seat/month; Enterprise custom (annual figures are monthly equivalents, not month-to-month rates) — so a price comparison is possible. An earlier /pricing route returned HTTP 403; that is recorded as an observation, with no cause asserted. The help-centre page that states these prices is readable.
Evidence: Verified 2026-10-13 Genspark — 24.99 USD/month Applies to: Plus plan billed monthly; from 10,000 monthly credits and 50 GB of AI Drive storage www.genspark.ai ↗
Editorial suggestion — not a checked fact
