Perplexity · Perplexity Pro
Perplexity Pro subscription
$20/mo; annual billing exists but its price is not published on any official page fetched (the 'about $200/yr' figure rests on an expired India promo's dollar-value line, not a listed annual price)
Pro answers are capped by unstated weekly/monthly numbers — 'average use' is the published unit — and the annual price never appears on official pages; only a $20/mo figure and an expired promo's '$200 value' line anchor the sticker.
