Pricing questions

Credits power AI actions like search, chat, summarization, and Research Agent runs. They refresh every month. If you run low, you can upgrade at any time or wait for your next monthly reset — your work and library are never locked.

Research Agent generates full essay and paper drafts from your sources and prompt, where one run is one generation. Deep Analysis (Plus and above) goes further, synthesizing across many papers and cross-examining findings before drafting. Professional removes all limits on both. Deep Analysis may use top frontier AI models like Perplexity Sonar Deep Research.

Plus includes a personalised 1:1 setup session to configure your workspaces and walk through the core platform for your research goals. Professional adds a deeper partnership: advanced workflow mapping and continuous priority alignment for complex methodology execution.
