Perplexity Pro price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Perplexity Pro is shown as $17/month billed annually (search synthesis, October 2026) - reconfirm the figure on the official pricing hub, and treat the month-to-month cash price as "confirm" if it is not printed. To cancel: Account settings → Your subscription → Manage → Cancel; if Apple or Google bills you, cancel in that store instead (Perplexity Help Center: canceling a subscription).
Perplexity: after canceling you keep Pro until the end of the current cycle, then the account reverts to the free plan.
Check who billed you first. A web checkout means the account settings page; an APPLE.COM/BILL or Play charge means the store owns the cancel.

Common problems
- Cancelled in account settings when a store billed you. Apple or Google keeps charging.
- Expected Pro to stop the same day. Perplexity: you keep it until the end of the current cycle.
- Only deleted the app. Billing continues.
- Quoted the $17 figure as a monthly price. It is $17/month billed annually - confirm on the official pricing hub.
What we checked
Verified on official Perplexity pages (October 18, 2026): the cancel path (Account settings → Your subscription → Manage → Cancel) and the revert-to-free behavior on Perplexity Help Center.
Not verified - left out: reading the $17/month billed annually figure directly off the pricing hub - it came from search synthesis, so we mark it "reconfirm". No monthly cash price or Max price is printed here.
After canceling
Perplexity says the account reverts to the free plan after the current cycle ends; you keep Pro features until then.
Store-billed plans
If the App Store or Google Play billed you, only that store can cancel - the web account page will not stop a store charge.
