How Perplexity works (official framing)
Help text says Perplexity combines live web retrieval with AI models and returns answers with source links. Pro Search goes further across articles, papers, forums, and more, then synthesizes with citations. Free users get a limited number of Pro Searches per day; Perplexity Pro subscribers get extended Pro Search access.

App Store billing
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, help text says billing is managed in that store—you may not see web cancel options inside Perplexity Settings. Web subscriptions cancel via Settings → Subscription → Manage Subscription.
Pro Search vs a standard question
“What is Pro Search?” describes multi-source crawling, synthesis from dozens of sources, clickable citations, focus modes (Academic, Finance, Files, etc.), a code interpreter, and— for Pro—model selection before you start a Thread.
When to use Pro Search
Multi-step reasoning, competitive scans, and research that needs many live sources. When Free quota runs out, the UI prompts upgrade or waiting for reset.
Model picker
Help text says Perplexity Pro unlocks the in-query model selector; Free stays on Best plus limited Pro Search. Model lists change—see “What advanced AI models are included” and trust your selector.
Research mode
“How does Perplexity work?” describes Research running many searches, reading hundreds of sources, and producing reports in minutes. Pro gets extended Research access; Free is more restricted.
First-week checklist after upgrading
- 1
Confirm plan and billing
Settings → Subscription should show Pro. For web billing, help text says update payment methods under Manage Plan → Billing information.
- 2
Run Pro Search with two models
Ask the same question with Best vs a manually picked model and compare citation depth. Watch usage notices before burning Deep Research quota in one shot.
- 3
Upload files to a Thread or Project
Pro raises upload and analysis limits. Comparison text lists up to 50 uploads per project on Pro. Upload only files you have rights to use.
- 4
Try Create files and apps sparingly
Help text says Create can build reports, spreadsheets, dashboards, or simple web apps from prompts and consumes Create quota. Start small and read Create limits in the plan comparison table.

# Price: checkout on perplexity.ai onlyDoes Pro include the Perplexity API?
No. Help text treats API billing and limits separately from consumer Pro.
Where do I see the exact price?
The upgrade and Manage Plan flows show your regional price at checkout. This article avoids fixed dollar figures not guaranteed on the live page.
Are Pro Search and Research the same?
Not exactly. Pro Search is the advanced cited Q&A flow; Research (including Deep Research) is a longer autonomous report mode. Usage and entry points differ—follow in-product mode labels.
Is this a wbstorm feature?
No. This article covers Perplexity Pro only. wbstorm is a browser brainstorm room unrelated to Perplexity accounts.
