Perplexity makes the Comet browser free on every platform

The agentic AI browser dropped its paywall — and with it, a glimpse of how discovery changes when an agent does the clicking.

Perplexity removed the paywall on Comet, its agentic AI browser, making it free across iOS, Android, Windows and Mac — with agentic search, page summarisation and shopping built in.

The agentic-browser shift

Comet isn't a search box with a chatbot bolted on; it works across the pages you visit and can carry out tasks. As assistants increasingly act — and even buy — on a user's behalf, the contest shifts from ranking on a page to being the option the agent picks.

Comet Plus and publishers

A $5/month Comet Plus tier shares revenue with publishers — an allocated pool paying out the large majority of subscription revenue, and compensating not just clicks but citations in answers and agent actions on a site.

What it means for visibility

Make your site agent-readable and your facts consistent, so an assistant can both cite you and act on your information without ambiguity.

Key takeaways

  • Comet is now free on all major platforms, with agentic features included.
  • When an agent acts for the user, the goal becomes being the option it picks.
  • Comet Plus compensates publishers for citations and agent actions, not just clicks.
  • Prioritise agent-readable pages and consistent, machine-parseable facts.
