Perplexity Comet is Free for a Year through PayPal and Venmo Deals

What to know

• PayPal and Venmo users in the U.S. and selected global markets can skip the waitlist for Perplexity’s Comet AI browser.
• The offer includes a free 12‑month trial of Perplexity Pro (valued at $200/year).
• Access is available via the PayPal or Venmo app (U.S.) or at online checkout with PayPal (global).
• The deal ties into PayPal’s new subscriptions hub, which helps manage recurring payments—all while promoting AI-powered browsing.

You can access Perplexity’s Comet browser—and receive a complimentary 12‑month Perplexity Pro subscription—directly through PayPal or Venmo. In the U.S., you can find the offer in the PayPal or Venmo app. Global users in select regions can activate access at checkout when paying with PayPal.

Here's what the offer is.

PayPal users in the U.S. will see the option in-app; while global users can sign up at payment checkout. 

PayPal’s new subscriptions hub, which lets you view and manage recurring payments, update methods, and access special deals, will let you access this offer as well.  U.S. users also can earn $50 cash back by linking and paying for three subscriptions through the hub.

Comet is Perplexity’s AI-powered Chromium-based browser. It integrates AI search, auto‑summaries, product comparisons, and a smart assistant for tasks like email summaries, calendars, and scheduling. Launching in July, it's currently limited to Max and Pro subscribers, with broader rollout planned. In a way then, this PayPal deal gives you front‑row access before most users.

This extension of the May partnership between PayPal and Perplexity—initially enabling instant purchases through Perplexity’s AI interface—now serves as both a customer acquisition and value-add play. For PayPal, it promotes engagement with its new subscriptions hub and offers real value to users. For Perplexity, it taps into PayPal’s 430+ million user base. A win-win for both parties, and users worldwide.
