If you’re a PayPal user and have never been a paying subscriber of Perplexity, then I have good news for you. You can get a full year of Perplexity Pro for free — the paid subscription to this AI service, valued at €200.
This is an AI that offers a very interesting and functional product that we liked from the beginning, and it has carved out its place in the industry. The best part of its paid version is that, in addition to Perplexity’s own models, it gives you access to third-party models such as GPT-5, Gemini 2-5 Pro, Grok 4, or Claude Opus 4.1. In short, it’s an all-in-one package.
Access to these models does have some limits in cases like image generation, but it’s still a great way to have flexibility in how you ask questions. Plus, when refreshing or regenerating a result, you can switch the AI model used to produce the new output.
