Perplexity regularly runs promotional offers and the discount codes for these offers are distributed through our partners, authorized and official channels, and on our website.

How do I apply a discount code to my account?

Discount codes can only be redeemed on the web, not through the Perplexity mobile apps. To apply a code:

  1. Visit perplexity.ai and either create a new account or sign in to your existing one.

  2. Open the link provided in your email. You will be redirected to Perplexity, and a pop-up will confirm the validity of your discount code. Click “Get Started.”

  3. At checkout, your discount code should be automatically applied. If it isn’t, manually enter the code from the pop-up into the "Add Promotion Code" field on the payment page. Click "Subscribe" to complete your sign-up.

Note: If you have an active subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to wait for it to end to apply a discount code.

Why do I need to provide my payment details?

Providing payment details guarantees a seamless switch to a paid subscription after your trial or discount period ends. Rest assured, you won’t be charged at sign-up. Billing will only start once the free period concludes.

You can manage your subscription anytime via your account settings page https://www.perplexity.ai/account/details under “Manage Subscription.”

Can I share this discount code with someone else?

No, discount codes are for individual use only. Sharing them violates our Terms of Service.

Can I apply multiple discount codes to one account at once?

No, only one discount codes can be applied per billing cycle. To add a discount to an existing subscription, go to settings, select "Manage Subscription" in the Pro section, and choose "Update Plan." Apply your promo code at checkout.

Can I use an expired promo code?

No, expired promo codes cannot be reactivated.

Sign-up Discounts

Do you offer any discounts for signing-up?

We do not offer special discounts based on any unique conditions related to geographical location, currency, or demographic status. However, we do offer $10 discount for successful referrals (see below for more info).

Students who sign up for a new Perplexity account and verify their student status via SheerID receive 1 month of free Perplexity Pro. Students may also participate in our Student Referral program to refer friends and earn more months of Pro, stackable up to 24 months. More info on our global Student Referral program can be found here.

Referrals Program

The standard Perplexity Referrals Program is available for Pro subscribers.

How does the Perplexity referral program work?

To refer someone, you must be an active Perplexity Pro subscriber.

  1. Once subscribed, you’ll receive a unique personal referral link to share with others. Visit https://perplexity.ai/referrals to get your unique personal referral link to share

  2. When someone signs up for Perplexity Pro using your link, they get a $10 discount on their subscription

  3. You can refer as many people as you want, but only one referral reward is applied per billing cycle

  4. The $10 reward is applied as a monthly discount to your subscription - it doesn't stack or accumulate.

  5. For example, if you refer 5 people, you'll get a $10 discount each month for 5 consecutive months (not a $50 discount in one month)Note: This is the standard Pro Referrals program and is different from the Student Referrals program.

  6. When someone signs up for Perplexity Pro using your link, they receive a $10 discount on their subscription.

Managing your referrals

You can access your referral information and manage referrals directly under the Settings section of your account.

How many people can I refer?

  • You can refer as many unique individuals as you like, but only one referral reward is applied per billing cycle.

How does the $10 reward work?

  • The $10 reward is applied as a discount to your subscription on a monthly basis—it does not stack or accumulate.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Only active Pro subscribers can refer others.

  • Each referral provides a $10 monthly discount, applied one at a time per billing cycle.

  • Referral discounts are not cumulative within a single month.

  • Only new subscribers can apply a referral code at checkout.

If I cancel my subscription, will my referrals remain recorded for future use?

No, if you cancel your subscriptions, your referrals will be nullified.
