Overview

Metaso (秘塔AI搜索), built by Shanghai Metaso Network Technology, is an ad-free AI search engine that understands query intent and returns structured answers with timelines, outlines and cited sources. It searches the full web plus academic literature, images, videos and podcasts, and can generate research-style reports. A paid search API (priced per query) lets developers embed its retrieval and Q&A into their own apps.

RECATOOLS Verdict

Metaso is one of the cleaner AI-search experiences out of China: no ads, strong academic coverage, and genuinely useful structured outputs and report generation. Its research and outline modes make it a solid alternative to Perplexity for users who read Chinese.

The interface is Chinese-first and there is no localized SEA pricing, which limits regional polish, but the product is freely accessible internationally and the cheap per-query search API is a real draw for developers building retrieval features.
