Pricing model from the October 2026 comparison matrix. Figures marked (est.) are triangulated from secondary sources, not vendor-published; (secondary) figures come from secondary reporting.
Landscape Report, October 2026 edition — §1.7.
Standout: Cited-answer engine — every answer carries clickable sources; core business value is verifiable research. Comet agentic browser (free since Oct 2025): AI sidebar that reads pages, acts across tabs, fills forms, runs multi-step tasks. Deep Research, Perplexity Labs (dashboards/spreadsheets/web apps), Model Council (Max only, Feb 2026 — queries 3 frontier models and synthesizes agreements/disagreements). Internal Knowledge Search (private document index) on Enterprise.
Pricing (current, secondary but consistent across sources): Free $0; Comet Plus $5/mo; Education Pro $10/mo; Pro $20/mo ($200/yr); Max $200/mo ($2,000/yr, includes 10,000 Computer credits/mo); Enterprise Pro $40/seat/mo ($400/yr); Enterprise Max $325/seat/mo ($3,250/yr). Sonar API: usage-based, starting ~$1 per 1M tokens. Notable: U.S. federal GSA pricing at $0.25/agency/18mo — a distribution play.
Key limits: Free-tier caps changed repeatedly in 2026 (Pro Searches 5→3/day; Deep Research 5/day→1/month) — verify current caps in the help center before advising. Heaviest agent value sits behind the $200/mo tier.
Clients and even vendors now use overlapping names. Keep this straight in advisory materials:
Free-tier caps changed repeatedly in 2026; heavy agent value behind $200/mo tier
