Perplexity AI makes Comet browser free for everyone

Perplexity AI has made its Comet browser free for all users in the world, cofounder and chief executive Aravind Srinivas announced on Thursday.

The Comet browser is now available to free, Pro and Max users, said in a post on X.



Srinivas also took covers off Comet Plus, which will be a new subscription plan for both humans and AIs to consume news.

In the first leg, Comet Plus will host content from CNN, Conde Nast (publishers of The New Yorker, Wired, Architectural Digest and others), Fortune, Le Figaro, Le Monde, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post. As announced in August, the participating publishers will be paid for user engagement, user agent actions, and indexing of content. Perplexity will pay them out of a $42.5 million revenue pool for the news it uses to answer queries, Wall Street Journal had reported.


Comet Plus will come with a $5 standalone subscription, or bundled with Perplexity Pro and Max.
