Perplexity Comet Plus is an innovative subscription that changes how publishers get paid in the AI space. At $5 per month, it addresses key issues in content creation and AI use.
Subscribers access premium content while supporting publishers. This model includes Perplexity Pro and Max users at no extra cost, making it easy to upgrade.
Key Features of Comet Plus
The setup focuses on three main revenue streams that benefit publishers. Here's how it works:
- Direct visits: Publishers earn from clicks to their sites.
- AI citation rewards: When AI responses reference publisher content, creators get paid.
- Agent action compensation: If AI uses publisher material for tasks, revenue flows back.
Perplexity keeps 20% of subscription money and gives 80% to publishers, backed by a $42.5 million fund.
With Chrome at 63.7% market share, Comet Plus offers a fresh option. It runs on Chromium, so users enjoy familiar extensions plus AI tools like content summarization and real-time web access.
