Curious about the different ways people are accessing Perplexity Pro these days. What options, offers, eligibility routes, or alternatives are currently available, and what has actually worked for you? ---

Three things work today. Everything else you’ll read in this thread died months ago. **Every free-Pro list floating around is a graveyard with the dates filed off.** The giveaway wave was real — carriers, banks, wallets and phone makers handed out Pro for a year. That wave ended. Here’s what survived it. ### ✅ Working right now, zero cost, any country **The free Standard tier.** Unlimited basic search plus around 5 Pro searches a day, permanent, no card. Most people burn 5 a day and never notice a ceiling. **[Comet](https://www.perplexity.ai/comet)** — Perplexity’s browser. Free worldwide since October 2025, no waitlist, no payment, and the paywall came off entirely in March 2026. Straight talk on it: free Comet runs **basic models with limited agent actions** , not Pro-level access. Perplexity’s own pricing table says so. It stays worth having. **[The Search API Playground](https://docs.perplexity.ai/)** — their own search infrastructure, running in your browser, no account, no key, no card. Search only, no chat. Almost nobody knows this door exists. ### 🎯 Where the next one lands These deals never launch in English first. A carrier or a bank switches it on for its own base, announces it in the local language, and English coverage shows up weeks later once the good windows are half gone. **So watch two apps: your mobile carrier’s, and your bank’s.** Open the perks or rewards page in each. That is where the next twelve-month giveaway appears before any list on the internet carries it. ### 🪦 Save your evening > **Every free-Pro offer that is already dead, with its date** > > **Airtel (India)** — closed to new signups 16 Jan 2026 > **Optus (Australia)** — closed 28 Feb 2026 > **HKT (Hong Kong)** — redemption ended 30 Apr 2026 > **PayPal and Venmo (US)** — ended 31 Dec 2025 > **Samsung Galaxy Store** — ended 24 Dec 2025 > **Singtel (Singapore)** — ended Jul 2025 > **Uber One** — ended 31 Oct 2024 > **Movistar (Spain, Chile, Colombia)** — windows closed 2025 > **Revolut** — window closed 4 Feb 2026, and they moved to a different AI partner > **Bell (Canada), TIM (Italy), Telkomsel (Indonesia), Deutsche Telekom, Magenta Austria, Logitech, Xfinity, RBC** — expired, or sitting behind a paid account > **Amex** — live, and it is $100 back on $200 of spend, on a $695 card > **Referral program** — you have to be a paying subscriber first > **Libraries, unions, NGOs, loyalty point catalogues** — zero of them carry it anywhere on earth > **“Free Sonar” sites** — Rewind.ai’s own FAQ admits it runs Qwen and Whisper, not Perplexity
