Plan	Limit	Window	When exhausted	Evidence
Pro	None no monthly allocation Included Computer credits	n/a	Computer unavailable unless you buy credits	● Documented
Perplexity credits help-centre article, updated 16 Jul 2026. ⚠️ Consumer Pro carries NO monthly credit allocation — only a one-time 4,000-credit signup bonus that expires after 30 days. After that a Pro subscriber has zero Computer credits until they purchase more.
Pro	4,000 one-time Signup bonus credits	expires 30 days after signup	Not replenished	● Documented
One bonus per account. It does not repeat if you cancel and resubscribe, switch between monthly and yearly billing, or apply a discount or education offer later.
Max	10,000 per month Included Computer credits	monthly refresh	Buy more, or wait for the monthly refresh	● Documented
Consumer Max, $200/month. A one-time 35,000-credit bonus also applies at signup, expiring after 30 days.
Enterprise Pro	500 per month Included Computer credits	monthly refresh	Buy more, or wait for the monthly refresh	● Documented
Enterprise Pro does carry a monthly allocation where consumer Pro does not.
Enterprise Max	15,000 per month Included Computer credits	monthly refresh	Buy more, or wait for the monthly refresh	● Documented
Highest published allocation on the platform.
All plans	100 credits = $1 Credit value	n/a	n/a	● Documented
Task cost by complexity: light 100–350 credits, complex 350–950, heavy 875–2,275, mega 2,400–9,800. Perplexity states these are examples, not guarantees, and that pricing and allowances may change by promotion, region or plan.
All plans	Free no credit cost Ask searches	n/a	n/a	● Documented
Credits are consumed only by Computer, the multi-step assistant. Ordinary Perplexity Ask searches do not draw down credits at all — a distinction easily missed when comparing credit allowances against other tools.
Free	Undisclosed Pro Searches per day	daily	Falls back to standard search	⨯ Undisclosed
Verified absence: the help centre says only that "free users can enjoy a limited number of Pro Searches per day, while Perplexity Pro subscribers have extended access". No figure is published for either tier. Perplexity documents its credit system precisely and its search limits not at all.
Pro / Max	Undisclosed Pro Searches per day	daily	Unknown until encountered	⨯ Undisclosed
Described only as "extended access" and, for Max, "unlimited Pro Searches" in marketing copy — with no rate or fair-use ceiling stated anywhere in the help centre.
