What Comet does
Who it’s for: people who spend their day in web pages: keeping up with news, comparing suppliers, preparing for meetings, repetitive forms.
Summarize a page, a video, or a PDF
One shortcut is all it takes to get a summary of what is on screen: article, video, PDF.
Work across several tabs at once
The Assistant can take several open tabs into account. You point to them with @ followed by the tab name. It compares, groups, and summarizes.

Comet pricing
Perplexity publishes its prices in dollars. A Max plan is also available for individuals: see the Perplexity page. As checked on October 4, 2026, for Comet’s agent with Pro: the pricing page and the plan guide list limited monthly access, with no number; the credits page says “Work” mode uses Computer credits, and Pro receives only 4,000, one time. We report both: rely on what your account shows. The Enterprise plan prices date from our check on October 3.
| Plan | Price | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Free Recommended to start | $0 | Discovering Comet and using it to read, summarize, and compare |
| Pro | $20 per month, or $200 per year | You want the Assistant to act on sites for you |
| Enterprise Pro | $40 per user per month, or $400 per year | Companies |
| Enterprise Max | $325 per user per month, or $3,250 per year | Heavy use in a company |
What the free plan includes
The browser is free and can be used even without an account. In “Search” mode, the Assistant does not use credits. According to the help center, the agent that acts for you is not included in the free plan.
Nova’s advice
Start for free: reading, summarizing, and comparing tabs costs nothing. Only choose Pro if you regularly hand tasks to the Assistant, and always check which mode is selected before sending. For company data, the right route is an Enterprise plan decided by your employer.
A first try, in 5 minutes
Your data. A browser with an assistant sees what you see. Comet keeps your history, tabs, and passwords on the device, and sends Perplexity only the content needed for your request.
What it does less well
- When it acts for you, the Assistant can pick the wrong field or button. Always review before a submission, an order, or a payment.
- A web page can contain hidden instructions meant to trick an assistant. Do not let it act on a site you do not know.
Compare three offers open in your tabsComet- Open the pages of three suppliers for the same product in three tabs.
- Open the Assistant: ⌥ + A on Mac, Alt + A on Windows.
- Check that “Search” mode is selected: it does not use credits.
- Paste the prompt below. To point to a specific tab, type @ and then its name.
- Check two figures in the table against the original pages before you use them.
The prompt to copy
Compare the three offers open in my tabs: price, delivery time, warranty. Make a table, then tell me which one suits a team of ten people.
