    I used my existing account and linked the PayPal, and have got the 12 months trial promotion.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 04/09/2025 - 04:48

      Non-Pro account?

        Not OP but worked on my existing account that had pro before albeit from a free promo code, never paid.

          Didn't work on my existing account that had pro from the Moj Telecom deal (even though it got cancelled after 2 days). I'm just gonna up on perplexity after this.

    • bng99 on 04/09/2025 - 07:15

      Didn't work on my existing, previously subscribed. Although that was via google account so maybe that's the difference.

    Got one with my existing account, never subscribed before. Thanks for share, it’s the best ai search engine now, love it

    • Hiphopopotamus on 04/09/2025 - 05:06

      You're welcome, good to know about the existing account thing.

      I just turned off the automatic payments from the PayPal automatic payment settings, won't be able to re-bill! :)

      Weird, you can disable PayPal auto payments here: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/.

      • Mikael on 04/09/2025 - 09:13

        Thanks. Had a few didn't use anymore.

    • perthhunter on 04/09/2025 - 08:53

      I could pre-cancel by managing the sub here:
      https://www.perplexity.ai/account/details

      Better way to do it this way in addition to disabling Paypal autopay.

      • nfr on 04/09/2025 - 09:28

        If I "Cancel subscription", it just cancels auto renew but not the current subscription?

    • Singalongforever2 on 04/09/2025 - 08:54

      It let me do it on web.
      It shows trial enda and renew subsriptuon will cancel on Paypal also

      • leeroys_dad on 04/09/2025 - 08:57

        Ah thank you. I was on mobile browser. Forced the desktop view and could do it

    works. but can't get the android app to show results. it's blank, but if you click the copy button you can export results. works perfectly fine on the web

      Useless for voice for me

      So just because it's "useless" for you, that's a reason to neg the deal huh?

        @SBOB, @gentlekoala5906,

        The challenge is for people to fact-check cloudflare & perplexity claims…'the truth is out there' 😇

        In the age of MIS-informaton, do you believe everything you read?

        • M00Cow on 04/09/2025 - 07:50

          only if it's penned under the guidance of Saint Rupert

      • UrbanLegend on 04/09/2025 - 07:37
        +9

        The response from perplexity was sus af. Moreover, Cloudflare is a well regarded entity. I would trust them over the ai mob.

        • SBOB on 04/09/2025 - 07:41
          +7

          Cloudflare is a well regarded entity

          Yep, CloudFlare do plenty of impressive things
          Though they aren't without actions that some are finding less than 'great'
          Eg
          https://www.techpolicy.press/cloudflares-troubling-shift-fro…

          I was posting perplexity answer as there's two "sides" to the ai argument in this example, especially when it's ai bot access as a user agent compared to ai bot access for scraping (which chatgpt and Gemini both get freed passes on because the respective Bing and Google web search crawler bots get much less scrutiny and you'd be nieve to think that data isnt being ingested for training)

        • DonkSettingsEnjoyer on 04/09/2025 - 08:53

          Cloudflare is a well regarded entity

          Lol, lmao even.

      • Rysta on 04/09/2025 - 09:00

        Calling scraping by another name does not make it not scraping. Even if its from a user request, it is still scraping the website.

        If a website blocks scrapers, one should respect that instead of DDOSing it. It is their right as a website owner to decide how it is accessed, especially when accessing it with a scraper means costing them compute while bypassing their revenue streams. Scraping everyone smothers the open web.

    • samfisher5986 on 04/09/2025 - 09:13

      Stealth crawling is a necessary evil to make competition open to everyone.

      Without it, only Elon and Sam Altman will have exclusivity deals with all the big websites and their AI will form a monopoly.

      Also consider that there are many ways to steal data and once that data is stolen, it can be trained into an AI and in most scenarios, it becomes untraceable.

  • derdew on 04/09/2025 - 06:51

    can you use this with the referral code to get 13 months?

  • dbglt on 04/09/2025 - 07:30

    Any way to stack this with an existing subscription?

    • Kattyy90 on 04/09/2025 - 08:58

      it worked from my free account upgrading.

    An honest question, what can Perplexity do that ChatGPT Plus or Gemini Pro can't?

    • darkly on 04/09/2025 - 07:41

      It supports both, along with itself and you change between them mid conversation

        I think I can do that with OpenRouter.

    Thanks OP

  • theguyrules on 04/09/2025 - 07:47

    "You are already subscribed or have previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro."
    I think this might be due to this deal?
    Definitely not currently subscribed.

    • theguyrules on 04/09/2025 - 07:49
      +1

      Tried another google account, got "You've previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro. This promotion is only valid for first-time subscribers." I guess cause my PayPal is the same one as I used for the above deal.

    • KangaDrew on 04/09/2025 - 07:52

      I got blocked from progressing due to that deal also. I just used one of my other email addresses and it worked fine.

      • theguyrules on 04/09/2025 - 07:53

        Did you use a different PayPal? Maybe I subscribed using that same PayPal address

        • KangaDrew on 04/09/2025 - 08:06
          +1

          I only have one PayPal account and it worked.

          • theguyrules on 04/09/2025 - 08:14

            @KangaDrew: Strange. Oh well.

              @theguyrules: I had the same issue as you - new account/email address for Perplexity, but then failed on the PayPal screen "accept offer" due to having subscribed previously

    • YawningTrooper58 on 04/09/2025 - 08:34

      didn't work for me. I used the telecom deal and it might see it as previously subscribed. Bummer

    Rumor has it that Apple is going to acquire it, soon it will be free to all. This may just be to increase user numbers to ask more money from Apple

  • Boxcuttahz on 04/09/2025 - 07:51

    Thank you Op have always wanted to try the pro versions but didn't want to pay, now I'll be able to properly decide whether it's worth it or not

  • Raj09 on 04/09/2025 - 07:57

    Çan you stack it?

  • motion2082 on 04/09/2025 - 08:12

    Amazing value but I feel like the scam is you will forget to cancel in 12 months time and get an annual charge

    To put this in context I paid $340 for an Annual Claude Pro subscription the other day.

    Perplexity gives you multiple models to choose from.

    This is an insanely good deal

      Cancel immediately in PayPal. Too easy. FFS.

    • gusk12 on 04/09/2025 - 09:00

        It's PayPal, they will pull money from any other linked account.

          totally forgot about that haha, gonna turn off autorenew now. cheers

    • NedStark102 on 04/09/2025 - 09:35

      You can literally cancel from your perplexity AI account the moment you sign up, and it doesn't cut your 12 month period short

    Why is Perplexity giving out these for free so easily?

    • neonlight on 04/09/2025 - 08:33

      When something is too good to be true, you are the product. Obviously they are collecting your data

    • the1doood on 04/09/2025 - 08:48
      +2

      Apart from data collection, they can show future earnings for sale, loans, VC funding, IPO etc

      • RedHab on 04/09/2025 - 09:39

        Yes, VC's want to see users. It's a fight for users now, figure out how to make money out of them later.

        Perplexity gave free Pro access to everyone in India two months back.

    • joelmuzz on 04/09/2025 - 08:58

      Trying to establish market share. It's a crowded competitive market and they will just be forgotten without users recommending it.
      If people do pay, or forget to unsubscribe, then that's nice revenue. But like all web startups they are happy to run at a loss on investor capital aiming to become huge and valuable.

      And users provide training data for improvement. And the usual selling of your interests to advertising databases.

    Used a new email address but existing PayPal account that has the email same as previously used for Perplexity Pro, it detects and gives me this error that I've previously subscribed.

    Looks like we need to use a different PayPal account that is not connected with email address already used for Perplexity Pro

    • perthhunter on 04/09/2025 - 08:52

      yes it worked for me with another paypal email

    Didn't work for me - failed after linking to paypal with the 'you've already done it before'. Something to note though - the paypal subscription remains active - so even if you failed this offer you still have to go back to paypal to cancel the subscription…..
