This label is not a security certification, audit, or product endorsement. It reports the facts Kingy currently supports and when they were last checked.

Which plan is worth considering

Canada web: Pro $17/month equivalent, billed annually; currency unconfirmed. The current individual Pro card lists deeper research, model selection, document and app creation, expanded Computer access and 4,000 bonus credits. The current annual headline is an equivalent monthly amount. Confirm the total annual charge and currency; the separate Enterprise seat prices on /pro are not the individual plan.

Limits that affect the purchase

Bonus credits are not a verified recurring monthly balance. Limits vary by feature, and citations still need checking against their sources. Free provides basic cited search with limited advanced use; it may cover occasional page research. The Perplexity API Platform is billed separately; the consumer subscription does not include a general API balance.

What the existing demonstration shows

The older Chrome-extension tutorial summarizes a page and searches within a page or domain; it does not test current Computer or paid models. The retained video was published 2023-02-22T17:26:11-08:00. This is a description of the existing creator recording, supported by its public description and chapters; it is not a new hands-on test. Current offers are researched separately. It does not establish typical output quality, time savings or return on investment. Check the original recording for its commercial disclosures and the exact steps shown. Watch the original Kingy demonstration.

Sources and buying-review date

Buying details checked October 22, 2026. Plan research uses current official sources; demonstration descriptions use the retained Kingy record and any captured creator chapters. No new subscription, paid generation or checkout was performed. The buying-review date does not renew every claim in the broader facts ledger.

Earlier profile and dated source history

The earlier record below keeps its own dates and scope.

Kingy Product Passport

Perplexity

Perplexity consumer controls, Enterprise protections and API terms are three separate boundaries.

Source-only assessment. Kingy has not hands-on tested this product.
Article sources checked: 2026-08-09

Bottom line

Perplexity documents consumer AI data retention as enabled by default with a prospective opt-out, while Enterprise plans have a separate no-training statement.

Before you use it

Confirm your current plan family, especially after an Enterprise downgrade, and check the AI data retention setting. The training opt-out affects future data only. Consumer and Enterprise policies do not establish API Platform terms.

What can change

Plan names and limits can change; consumer prices, quotas and Sonar API behavior remain outside this Passport.

Privacy after a plan change

Perplexity’s data-collection guide, checked October 22, 2026, distinguishes a temporary Enterprise billing lapse from a voluntary downgrade. A lapse can restrict features while the Enterprise no-training protection continues. Downgrading to Free or another consumer plan brings the account under the consumer policy, where AI data retention is enabled by default. Check Account settings > Preferences > AI data retention after that change.

Turning that control off applies to future training-data collection. It does not remove previously collected training data or stop processing needed for service operation, legal compliance and product improvement. Kingy has not tested the setting or a plan change. This correction covers those privacy boundaries; the older plan inventory, quotas and API gaps below keep their original review scope.

What the official sources support

availability

Perplexity distinguishes Standard (Free), Pro, Max, Education Pro, Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max subscription families; the API Platform is separate.

Applies to: Current answer-product plan guide; API excluded · Evidence: perplexity-plans

privacy

Perplexity says AI data retention for consumer Free, Pro and Max accounts is enabled by default and can be disabled for future data in settings.

Applies to: Consumer accounts; opt-out is prospective per source · Evidence: perplexity-data

privacy

Perplexity says Enterprise data is never used for AI model training and documents separate retention protections.

Applies to: Enterprise plans; consumer and API excluded · Evidence: perplexity-data

Scope

Perplexity consumer and enterprise answer-product subscriptions, with plan family stated.

Excluded: Perplexity Sonar API pricing and behavior; plan availability not listed for the reader’s account or geography

Evidence still missing

  • Consumer price and exact quotas are omitted pending locale/account review.
  • No Kingy test of the opt-out control or retention behavior.
  • Sonar API data handling remains a separate Passport gap.

These are launch-record readiness heuristics, not product ratings.

Launch readiness

How complete and reviewable the launch record is, not the quality of the product.

Inputs and weights: Launch date 15%; qualifying source 10%; what launched 10%; demo 15%; category 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%; traction evidence 10%; creator or audience fit 10%.

Evidence inputs: Reviewed launch metadata, public source links, demo links, taxonomy, audience, editorial notes, and recorded traction signals.

Demo evidence

Whether the record contains useful, reviewable demonstration evidence; it is not a rating of product output quality.

Inputs and weights: Working demo URL 45%; video walkthrough 25%; clear description of what launched 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%.

Evidence inputs: Demo and video URLs plus the reviewed launch description, audience, and editorial notes.

Creator-story fit

Whether a launch has enough demonstrable evidence and audience relevance for a useful creator story; it does not predict views or guarantee coverage.

Inputs and weights: Demo evidence 25%; visual creator category 15%; audience 15%; editorial assessment 15%; traction evidence 10%; pricing clarity 10%; API or open-weight evidence 10%.

Evidence inputs: Reviewed demo, category, audience, editorial, traction, pricing, API, and open-weight fields.

Scale
0.0–10.0. A present qualifying input receives its published weight; a missing input receives zero. Scores are rounded to one decimal.

Rubric and check date
Rubric version P0-2026-08-10. The record’s “Last verified” date is the score check date. Checked: 2026-06-08.
Confidence and missing data
Confidence depends on source completeness. “Not scored yet” means no reviewed value; “Needs review” means the value or score set failed validation.
Freshness
Recalculate after a material launch, source, demo, pricing, audience, or traction change and during the record freshness review.
Disputes
