Perplexity Max

The premium individual tier at 200 dollars per month, launched mid-2025. Targets power users who want priority access to new features, higher Deep Research limits, choice of the strongest agent models in Comet (Opus 4.6 by default), and early access to file and app generation. Sits opposite ChatGPT Pro and Claude Max at the same price point.

• Priority access to new Perplexity features (Comet model choice, file generation, dashboards)
• Higher Deep Research quotas and faster queue
• Opus 4.6 default for Comet Assistant
• Generate presentations, spreadsheets, dashboards and websites directly from Deep Research
• Early access to Labs and Model Council

• A consultant running multiple Deep Research reports per day for client briefings
• Heavy Comet users running agentic browser tasks who want Opus 4.6 driving the agent
• Operators who want to generate a sourced dashboard or slide deck from one Deep Research run

200 dollars per month is a lot for an SME operator unless Deep Research is a daily habit. The marginal gain over Pro is real but not enormous for occasional users. ChatGPT Pro and Claude Max are stronger picks at the same price for drafting and coding.

200 dollars per month, or 2,000 dollars per year.
