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.

Sources

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'.
