An AI answer and research assistant that searches the web for each query, with free, Pro, Max and enterprise plans and a pay-as-you-go API platform.
Perplexity combines web search with an AI assistant for research-style questions, with deeper Research queries, a browser agent and file and app creation on higher tiers. The free Standard plan has daily and monthly caps on advanced queries.
Pro and Max raise limits (described as weekly and monthly allowances rather than fixed numbers), and Enterprise plans add per-seat pricing with stated weekly and monthly allowances. The individual Pro and Max prices shown on the official pricing page are annual-billing rates; the monthly-billed rates were not visible on the pages fetched.
