Frequently asked questions

Which Perplexity model should I start with?

Perplexity is a sensible place to begin because it is the newest current entry we track. Compare it with the cheaper tier if you mostly need drafting and summarizing, and with the premium tier only for the hardest work.

How does Perplexity pricing work?

Most Perplexity models are sold by usage, priced per million tokens for input and output, while consumer apps use monthly plans. Each model page lists the starting price we verified.

Where can I see how Perplexity models compare with other vendors?

Every model has its own review, and the main LLM index at /llm/ lists all vendors side by side. Popular head-to-head pages are linked from each review.
