GPT-5.4

OpenAI's frontier model switchable on Pro—strong on structured reasoning, code analysis, and multi-step tasks; one of Pro's main daily research picks.

GPT-5.2

OpenAI's stable frontier release and a default Model Council participant—reliable for complex Q&A and multi-source synthesis.

Claude Sonnet 4.6

Anthropic's balanced high-intelligence model and a Pro workhorse—near-Opus capability at lower cost for daily deep research and long reports.

Claude Opus 4.6

Anthropic's high-capability flagship mainly on Max—a core Model Council participant for complex analysis, long-document comprehension, and high-stakes decisions.

Claude Opus 4.8

Anthropic's latest Opus release rolling into Max—preferred when Max users need the strongest Claude reasoning and writing quality.

Free

Price
Free
Limited Pro Search · ~20 Deep Research/mo
Official
Usage
The free tier lets you experience Perplexity's core search workflow, but Pro Search, Deep Research, file uploads, and premium models are tightly capped—best for evaluating fit before paying.
Models
Official comparison tables show Free at roughly 200 Pro Search/week, ~20 Deep Research/month, and ~50 file uploads/week; Max-exclusive models like o3-pro and Claude Opus are unavailable.
Highlights
If your workflow moves from fact-finding to synthesis to reports, Free is enough for a first impression but not sustained high-load research.

Occasional searchers evaluating the product before subscribing

Usage
The main individual research tier at $20/mo or $200/yr (~$16.7/mo)—unlocks multi-model switching across GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K2.5, Nemotron 3 Super, Sonar, and more with unlimited Pro Search.
Models
Includes Deep Research (~2.5× Free allowance), file uploads (~2× Free), Premium Sources (Statista, PitchBook), and Labs lightweight app generation.
Highlights
If you regularly compare answers across GPT/Claude/Gemini and push results into reports, spreadsheets, or lightweight apps, Pro is usually the natural start—o3-pro and Claude Opus require Max.
Best for
Frequent individual users doing daily research, synthesis, and multi-model comparison

Usage
Individual enthusiast tier at $200/mo or $2,000/yr (~$166.7/mo)—exclusive access to o3-pro, Claude Opus 4.6/4.8, and Model Council parallel multi-model comparison.
Models
Pro Search at roughly 20× Free, Deep Research at ~25×, unlimited Labs, and ~10,000 Computer credits/month—suited to people treating Perplexity as a long-term primary productivity system.
Highlights
The 10× Pro price needs a named bottleneck to justify it—heavy Labs deliverables, Model Council for high-stakes verification, or sustained o3-pro/Opus analysis makes the Max gap very tangible.
Best for
Extreme research users and people frequently using Labs for complex deliverables

Models
400 Pro Search/week and 50 Deep Research/month per user—suited to organizations needing a unified AI search entry point before Enterprise Max-scale usage.
Highlights
If your team needs centralized billing, access control, and internal file retrieval—not just individual Pro seats—Enterprise Pro is the formal starting point.

Notes

  • Consumer subscription model lineup evolves with releases; o3-pro and Claude Opus 4.6/4.8 are mainly Max-tier, while Pro focuses on GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and similar.
  • Annual Max billing is mainly via the web app; mobile upgrade and billing may differ. Enterprise vs consumer plans differ significantly on data training policy (Enterprise offers contractual zero data training).
  • Perplexity API (Sonar/Agent API) is separate from consumer Pro/Max subscriptions—API bills per token or request and is not included in Pro search quotas (some Pro plans include small API credits per account).
