Perplexity Launches Limited-Time Comet Referral Push With Cash Payouts and Free Pro Month

Payouts trigger only once a referred user completes a first AI prompt in Comet.

Comet is built on Chromium, the open-source skeleton that also powers Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Overview

  • Coverage conflicts on the per-referral amount, with Hindustan Times citing $3 and ZDNET reporting $20.
  • Invitees receive one month of Perplexity/Comet Pro at no charge after signing up via a referral link.
  • ZDNET reports rewards are credited only after the invitee logs in and asks their first AI question, with no stated earnings cap.
  • According to ZDNET, payouts have a 30-day holding period and are processed through third-party platform Dub Partners.
  • The incentives follow Comet’s broad desktop release and position the Chromium-based AI browser against OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Atlas, while Tom’s Guide notes some users may still face a waitlist unless they subscribe to Perplexity Pro.
