PayPal and Venmo Offer Early Access to Perplexity’s Comet With a Free Year of Pro

The in‑app promotion uses PayPal’s subscriptions hub to funnel millions toward Perplexity’s AI‑native browser.

Overview

  • U.S. users can claim the offer in the PayPal or Venmo apps now with one invite per PayPal account, existing Perplexity Pro subscribers are ineligible, and select international markets will follow later this month with the offer valid through the end of 2025.
  • The 12‑month Perplexity Pro trial, normally $200 per year or $20 per month, will auto‑renew at the then‑current rate unless canceled.
  • The deal is featured in PayPal’s new subscriptions hub, which also offers a $50 credit to customers who link and pay for at least three subscriptions.
  • Comet is a Chromium‑based browser with integrated AI that can summarize pages, compare products, schedule meetings, and query personal emails or calendars with permission.
  • Access via PayPal opens a path to the company’s reported 430 million users, expanding Comet’s reach beyond its initial Max and Pro subscriber rollout.
