Perplexity Pro price by country: $17.71 in Pakistan to $31.32 in Colombia

How much does Perplexity Pro cost in each country?

Buyers in Colombia pay 77% more than buyers in Pakistan for the same Perplexity Pro plan. That's $31.32 a month against $17.71. We read the Perplexity app's purchases in 56 App Store countries on 12 October 2026 and converted each one with a single exchange rate table from that day. Only 7 stores came in under the US price of $20.

Perplexity sets its own price for each store, and Apple bills it in the local money. Hungary (HUF 8,990, or $27.59) and Denmark (179 kr, or $26.82) come right after Colombia. The UK pays £20, which is $26.47, so a British buyer pays the US number in pounds. The 11 euro stores we read (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain) all ask €22, or $24.64. At the cheap end, Hong Kong (HK$148, or $18.86) and Japan (¥3,000, or $18.94) sit just above Pakistan. Canada lists CA$25. That's $17.53, but it's before sales tax.

Each row is the monthly and yearly Perplexity Pro purchase and the Perplexity Max purchase inside the Perplexity app for iPhone, read from Apple's listing on 12 October 2026. Apple names each item but not its billing period, so we matched them by price to Perplexity's $20 monthly and $200 yearly US plans. The dollar column uses the Currency API rates for the same date. A second price in brackets means the store lists two Pro items.

Every row except the US and Canada already includes tax. Apple says so in its pricing talk for developers: "Prices advertised to customers in all countries except the U.S. and Canada include taxes." So the UK's £20 carries the UK's 20% VAT, while Canada's CA$25 gets sales tax added at checkout. That's why Pakistan, not Canada, is the cheapest price you'd actually pay. We didn't read Google Play, which bills the Android app.

How much is Perplexity Pro in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh?

Perplexity Pro costs ₹1,999 a month in India's App Store, or ₹19,900 a year, as of 12 October 2026. That's $20.88 at the day's rate. On the website, buyers in India can't pay in rupees at all. Perplexity's help page on paying in local currency puts it plainly: "Users in India currently cannot use Indian rupees (INR) for recurring subscriptions on Perplexity.ai and can only subscribe in USD." So a web plan from India is a $20 card charge in dollars. Your bank does the conversion.

Pakistan's App Store lists Pro at Rs 4,900 a month and Rs 49,900 a year. At $17.71, that's the lowest price with tax included in any of the 56 stores we read. Sri Lanka's store bills USD 20, the US figure. Nepal's bills USD 25.

Bangladesh has no Apple storefront. The bd link opens the US listing, and Apple's lookup API returns no Perplexity app there. So there's no App Store price for Bangladesh, and you'd see your price at checkout on perplexity.ai. The ₹17,000 a year figure that still circulates for India comes from Airtel's 2025 promotion, not from either store. Is Perplexity Pro free covers which partner deals are still open.

Which App Stores show two Perplexity Pro prices?

Seven stores list two monthly Pro prices, and in every one of them the second price is exactly what ChatGPT Plus costs there. Brazil lists R$129.90 and R$99.90. The Philippines lists ₱1,290 and ₱999. Vietnam, South Korea, Kazakhstan and Peru do the same. Switzerland runs the other way: its main item is CHF 18, and the second one is CHF 20.

All prices are monthly App Store items in local money, read on 12 October 2026.

Apple's listing doesn't say which item a new subscriber gets. We call the first column the main price because Perplexity Max costs about 10 times it in each of these stores. The second item may be an older price kept for people who subscribed earlier. We couldn't check that, because the Internet Archive was offline when we read the listings. If the app offers you ₱999 in the Philippines, take it. At $15.92, it's the lowest Pro price on this page.

Is Perplexity Pro cheaper than ChatGPT Plus in your country?

No, in most countries it costs the same. In 31 of the 54 App Store countries that sold both apps on 12 October 2026, Perplexity Pro's monthly price matched ChatGPT Plus exactly or ran one cent over, as in the US ($20 against $19.99). India (₹1,999), Pakistan (Rs 4,900), Japan (¥3,000) and Colombia (COP 99,900) are exact matches. Perplexity costs more in 10 stores and less in 13: the 11 euro stores, Nigeria and Switzerland. The euro gap is 99 cents.

Both columns are monthly App Store prices in local money, so the ratio needs no exchange rate.

Kenya, Nepal and Ukraine all bill in US dollars, which makes the gap easy to see. OpenAI asks US$22.99 for Plus in Kenya and Ukraine and US$19.99 in Nepal. Perplexity asks all three for USD 25. That's $5 over the US price. Two stores sell only one of the pair: Russia lists Perplexity Pro but returned not found for ChatGPT, and so did Hong Kong. Perplexity Pro vs ChatGPT Plus covers what each $20 plan actually includes. The AI price index puts Perplexity Pro in one table with ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Google AI Pro and SuperGrok, country by country.

How much is Perplexity Max, and is the yearly plan cheaper?

Perplexity Max costs $200 a month in the US App Store, and in every store we read it costs about 10 times the main Pro monthly price. That puts it at COP 999,900 ($313.46) in Colombia, £200 in the UK, ₹19,900 in India and Rs 49,900 in Pakistan. Kenya and Ukraine pay USD 250, which is $50 more than the US in the same currency. Nepal's listing shows no Max item.

The yearly Pro plan carries the same number as one month of Max in every store that sells Max:$200 in the US, £200 in the UK, ₹19,900 in India. In the US you get 12 months for the price of 10, so the year costs about 17% less than paying monthly. South Korea's ₩349,000 year is the weakest deal, at 10.6 months of its ₩33,000 price.

Perplexity's own pricing page shows the yearly rates as monthly figures: Pro at "$17/month when billed annually" and Max at $167. Those are $200 and $2,000 a year, rounded to the dollar. You won't find a yearly Max item in the App Store, because Perplexity's Max help page says "the annual billing option is only available for the web app version." Teams pay more. Enterprise Pro starts at $40 a seat a month, or $400 a year, in Perplexity's plan guide. The US App Store also sells Computer credit packs, from 500 credits for $5 up to 5,000 for $50.

Is Perplexity Pro cheaper on the website than in the App Store?

In the US it's the same $20 on both. Perplexity's help center lists Pro at "$20/month or $200/year" (plans for the Slack connector), and the US App Store charges $20.00. Outside the US, the website can bill your own currency. Perplexity's local currency page says you can pick "either your local currency or USD" at checkout on perplexity.ai, and that the choice doesn't apply to Google Play or App Store plans. We read every price from the US, so we couldn't see what the website quotes in pounds or euros. The App Store is the only country by country price we could check.

Two cases favour one route. Students get Education Pro for $10 a month after SheerID verification, and Perplexity's help center sends that checkout to the desktop website, not the app. India works the other way: the website charges $20 in dollars, so ₹1,999 in the App Store is the only rupee price. Where you pay also decides where you cancel. An App Store plan is cancelled in your iPhone's subscription settings (how to cancel Perplexity Pro).

If you want Perplexity's model next to Claude and GPT, Whizi Pro costs $29.99 a month and includes Sonar Pro at 20 credits a message, out of 2,500 credits a month (credits). That's about 125 Sonar Pro answers if you spend every credit on it. Perplexity publishes no monthly search count for Pro, so if research is most of what you do, Perplexity Pro at $20 is the better buy.
