Our take
Editorial opinion, reviewed 16 October 2026.
- A good fit for
- People whose main use for AI is research and who want answers that cite their web sources.
- Look elsewhere if
- You mostly want help writing or coding rather than searching; a general assistant may fit better.
- On pricing
- Pro is $20 a month or $200 a year; Max is $200 a month.

Research note: perplexity.ai/pricing returned 404 and the site blocks automated fetches, so prices come from help-center articles. Pro price is stated in the Slack connector article rather than a dedicated pricing page. Voice, CRM, analytics and SSO evidence are help-center article titles. 'Spaces' now appear as 'Projects'.
