What is Perplexity?
Perplexity fits research that starts with a question and develops through follow-ups. An answer keeps its sources close, so you can open the underlying material and decide whether it supports the conclusion. Files can add your own context, while Research handles a broader investigation than a quick search.
For occasional questions, start with Free. Pro expands the research and model toolkit; Max targets heavier use and more Computer work. The displayed annual rates are monthly equivalents rather than monthly payment plans. Citations are useful navigation, but the underlying documents still matter when a conclusion needs to be dependable.
