Perplexity makes AI browser Comet free, aiming to rival Chrome

♨️News –  Perplexity is making its AI-powered browser Comet free for everyone. After months of being available only to premium subscribers, the company is now opening access to position Comet as a real alternative to Google’s Chrome.

👨‍💻Fast facts – 

• Comet launched in July for $200 per month as part of Perplexity Max.

• Expanded later to select Pro users and a long waitlist.

• Now available to all at no cost, with AI search and an assistant built into the browser.

• Comet Plus, a $5 per month add-on, provides curated news and is included for Pro and Max subscribers.

• Google, Arc, and Opera have also released AI-driven browsers.

🤓Open Tools POV – Perplexity’s move lowers the barrier to trying an AI-first browser. The question is whether its approach of putting AI at the center of browsing can help it carve out space against Chrome and other competitors.
