About Perplexity
Perplexity makes an AI answer engine, sold with a Pro subscription, and the Comet browser. It has no affiliate program open to publishers. Its help centre says the Comet Referral Program concluded on 6 November 2025 and that no new commissions are issued for referrals made after that date; the older "Give a month, Get a month" Pro referral scheme ended on 6 October 2025. Dub's public page for a Perplexity program now returns a 404, leaving only a partner log-in where past participants follow their final payouts. While it ran, the Comet program was a US-only refer-a-friend scheme rather than a publisher program: the referrer and the friend each received $15 in cash, paid through Dub, once the friend downloaded Comet, signed in and ran one query from the referrer's personal link. Bulk email and sharing with strangers were banned. The one paid promotion route still described on Perplexity's site is the Campus Partners Program, whose terms were last updated on 7 August 2025. It is limited to enrolled college and university students whom Perplexity accepts, and pays for tasks Perplexity sets, such as sign-ups, Space creation and events, with payments handled by Dub.
