Perplexity Standard Free AI Search Plan

Perplexity’s Standard plan is the company’s current free consumer tier for people who want source-linked AI search without a paid subscription. Perplexity’s plan guide, updated August 18, 2026, lists practically unlimited basic searches, search-history access, a small daily allowance of Pro Searches and limited file uploads. The same comparison currently lists three Pro Searches per day and one Research query per month for the Free tier. Advanced AI model selection, image generation and premium support are reserved for paid plans. A free account is most useful for everyday web research, quick cited answers and occasional richer searches. Usage limits can change, so DealVorio treats the current official plan table as the controlling source rather than older screenshots or third-party descriptions.
