What happens after the 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription ends?

If you cancel your Optus service during the offer period, you are no longer eligible for the offer.

After the 12-month free period will I be charged a monthly fee?

No, you will not be charged. After the 12-month period ends, you will be automatically moved to the free version of Perplexity. If you want to continue with the Pro version of Perplexity, you can purchase a monthly or yearly subscription through Perplexity.

What if I'm already a Perplexity user?

If you have an existing Perplexity account for the free standard version, you are still eligible for the 12-month Perplexity Plus offer.
