Inspect the source behind an answer

Pro Search works through multiple searches and returns direct citation links. Follow-up questions keep the conversation’s context, so a line of inquiry can develop beyond the first answer.

The author-facing value is a navigable trail into the evidence for a setting, nonfiction claim or current subject. A cited synthesis still needs the original source’s date, context and wording checked.

Expand the question into a research report

Research mode searches, reads and reasons through source material before assembling a report. It can export the result as a PDF or document or turn it into a shareable Perplexity Page.

Free users have limited access; Pro extends it. Research selects its own combination of models, so the model picker used for ordinary searches does not control this mode.

Research access and plans

Carry the source context into Projects

Projects, the current name for Spaces, collect conversations, Computer tasks, files, instructions and connected tools. Each workspace keeps that body of context together for continuing work.

Projects are private by default. Chosen collaborators can receive viewing or editing permissions; Pro and Max allow up to five invitees, with larger enterprise allowances.

Analyze files and produce reusable assets

Pro supports uploads including PDFs, CSVs, images, audio and video. Its Create files and apps mode can produce reports, spreadsheets, presentations and other assets from a larger assignment.

Choose research capacity and check billing

Pro and Max offer different research and model allowances. Max is listed at $200 monthly or $2,000 annually on the web; the Pro amount was not visible in the official public pages checked for this review.
