Initially launched in June only for those Perplexity users who paid the $200 subscription, Comet had a real success with millions of users on the waitlist who were eager to try the Google Chrome competitor.
But it should be mentioned that it is not just a simple traditional browser, because it serves as a personal assistant that can easily search the web for you, organize the websites opened in tabs, draft an email, and much more.
The rivalry in this field is pretty tough, considering the fact that Google has recently introduced Gemini AI overviews directly in the search results, while ChatGPT launched its own browser AI agent called Operator.
Up until now, the competition has been about who has the most performant AI agent and who claims that their agent is the most powerful. But now, we can see that the focus has shifted towards other tools and services, such as an AI video generator, an AI agent browser, and many more.
Perplexity is already widely known for its impressive AI-powered search engine, which offers users great answers to their queries and prompts. Now, because Comet is available to anyone, it has a great potential to become a rival to the giant Google Chrome. This AI company has recently made an offer to purchase Chrome in an unsolicited deal of $34.5 billion, but as expected, this deal was turned down by the giant.
Most likely, Perplexity wanted to integrate its advanced technology into the existing Google Chrome to enhance it. But it seems now that they have launched their own AI browser, which is pretty interesting.
On the other side, we mentioned earlier that Perplexity Comet was only available for those who paid the $200 subscription, but now that Comet is free for everyone, they don’t have anything else worth their money.

The good news is that Comet will still be available for all, but for those with the paid subscription, Comet will also feature a background assistant, which can handle various tasks for Perplexity Comet.
Great right?
Users who want to have more features can purchase a $5 subscription for Comet Plus. It seems that Comet Plus will be launched soon as an alternative powered by artificial intelligence to Apple News.
Even more so, users who pay for the Pro and Max Perplexity subscription will gain access automatically to Comet Plus.
