What is this service?
Perplexity is an AI answer engine that searches the web and replies with cited sources. The free tier offers limited Pro searches; paid plans unlock unlimited Pro search and access to leading AI models.
Perplexity Pro ($20/month or $200/year) gives unlimited Pro searches, model choice (GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more), file analysis, and image generation. Perplexity Max ($200/month) adds the highest limits and early features.
Perplexity bills through Stripe and may decline local cards. Mehbit issues a reloadable virtual Visa or Mastercard you fund with USDT and add at perplexity.ai — or request a proxy payment in the Mehbit app.

For businesses
We don’t charge businesses any extra fee — exactly the same rates apply. Need a dedicated solution? Get in touch.
Rates may be updated from time to time; the final rate is always shown in the app before you pay.
Why is payment hard?
Many local bank cards are not authorized for international SaaS billing. Services process payments through Stripe on international rails, so domestic-only cards are often declined even when you have sufficient balance.

Tips
Annual Pro billing ($200/year) is cheaper than paying monthly if you use it regularly.
Keep a balance buffer above the plan price so renewals clear without a decline.
Match billing name and address to your Mehbit card to avoid AVS declines.
Check for partner promotions (some carriers and apps include free Pro) before subscribing.
If your card is declined repeatedly, use proxy payment in the Mehbit app.
