FAQ about Perplexity for nonprofits

What is included in the Perplexity free plan?

The free Standard plan gives practically unlimited basic searches, a very limited amount of Pro Searches set at 3 a day, 1 research query a month, the model Perplexity picks for each query and basic file uploads. It does not include advanced AI models, image generation or premium support.

What discount do nonprofits receive?

Eligible educational institutions and nonprofit organizations can buy Enterprise Pro for $30 per seat per month or $300 per seat annually. The public per-seat rate starts at $40 per month or $400 per year, so the nonprofit price is a fixed price rather than a stated percentage.

How does a nonprofit claim the discount?

Contact Perplexity Support to apply for the discount code. Perplexity validates the organization's eligibility and the documentation it may ask for includes a certificate for non-profits, or proof of administrative authority for an educational institution. Tax-exempt status is a separate request, made with proof of exemption so an updated invoice can be issued.

Do student discounts apply to the nonprofit rate?

No. The $30 per seat rate is for eligible educational institutions that are not covered by Perplexity's standard Student Program, together with nonprofit organizations. An institution already in the Student Program uses that program's terms instead of the nonprofit rate.

What is the current price for nonprofits?

The nonprofit rate is $30 per seat per month or $300 per seat annually for Enterprise Pro, subject to support confirmation of eligibility. Check the Perplexity pricing pages for the current terms, limits and eligibility before a purchase.
