What do I get with Pro?

Pro Searches

Pro users get hundreds of Pro Searches per day. You will be able to use Perplexity's Pro models and Pro Search and Reasoning features for this purpose.

Powerful AI models and Search Modes

Pro Search Models: When you need detailed answers with extensive sources, choose from Sonar, GPT-4.1, Claude 3.7, or Gemini Pro 2.5. These models deliver comprehensive responses with multiple references.

Reasoning Search Models: For complex analytical questions, select from R1 (Perplexity's fine-tuned, uncensored model hosted in the US), o4-mini, or Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinkking. These models excel at breaking down complicated queries that require multiple search steps.

Deep Research: This mode automatically selects the optimal combination of models for in-depth research on complex topics, generating comprehensive reports without manual model selection.

Best Mode: For quick searches, this default mode intelligently selects the most appropriate model based on your query type.

If you'd like a detailed breakdown, this article introduces our four search modes (Best, Pro Search, Reasoning Search, and Deep Research) and explains which powerful language models are available for each. Learn when to use specific search modes for different types of questions and how to select the right AI model for your needs.
