Answer The Public and Consensus both sit in Research, but they're built around different use cases within it.
Choose Answer The Public if…
Best for content creators who want every question and comparison people actually search for around a topic, and its edge is visualizes hundreds of content angles by intent, questions, comparisons, prepositions, from a single keyword. Great for surfacing content ideas fast, pair it with a real keyword-volume tool since it doesn't provide that data itself. Lean toward Consensus instead if the Consensus Meter shows what percentage of relevant scientific literature agrees with a given claim matters more for your use case.
Choose Consensus if…
Best for anyone who wants to fact-check a claim against what peer-reviewed research actually says, and its edge is the Consensus Meter shows what percentage of relevant scientific literature agrees with a given claim. Genuinely useful for evidence-based fact-checking, it only covers scientific literature and may miss very recent papers. Lean toward Answer The Public instead if visualizes hundreds of content angles by intent, questions, comparisons, prepositions, from a single keyword matters more for your use case.
