Key findings
- Enterprise Pro costs US$400 a seat on annual billing or US$480 over twelve monthly payments. Enterprise Max costs US$3,250 or US$3,900 (calculated from the Help Center prices).
- The pricing page rounds each annual price up to a monthly figure. It shows US$34 for Enterprise Pro, whose annual price works out to US$33.33 a month. Enterprise Max shows US$271 for US$270.83, and Max shows US$167 for US$166.67.
- For a 20-seat team, the 30 more Enterprise Pro seats needed to reach the threshold would cost US$12,000 a year, so one Enterprise Max seat saves US$8,750 (calculated).
- At 100 credits per US$1, an Enterprise Pro seat's monthly credits are worth about US$5. A research report costs 350 to 950 credits, and the same allowance covers 7 to 33 quick facts at 15 to 70 credits each (calculated).
- Education, nonprofit, and government organizations get 25% off seats. Texas A&M reports paying US$108 a year per Enterprise Pro license under a campus agreement.
Budget a Perplexity team at its seat prices on annual billing, plus a separate pool for Computer credits. Below the seat threshold, one Enterprise Max seat is the cheapest way to get SCIM, audit logs, session retention settings, and the Insights dashboard. The 500 credits included with an Enterprise Pro seat cover at most one multi-step research report a month.
Seat prices by billing period
Monthly billing costs 20% more over a year than annual billing on both Enterprise tiers. The Help Center lists monthly and yearly prices, while the pricing page shows only the annual price divided by twelve. Prices are US dollars per seat, checked October 12, 2026.
| Tier | Cost per seat per year | Billing | Listed as |
|---|---|---|---|

Thresholds that change the bill
Three thresholds move the bill. SCIM, audit logs, session retention, and Insights need 50 seats or one Enterprise Max seat. Custom roles, SCIM group sync, and group credit limits need a sales-assisted Enterprise plan. Organizations with 250 or more seats can negotiate terms and invoicing.
- For a team below that threshold, one Enterprise Max seat is the cheapest way to get the admin features.
- Seat reductions take effect at the next billing period. Removing members leaves the bill where it is.
- Education, nonprofit, and government organizations get 25% off seats, which puts Enterprise Pro at US$30 a month or US$300 a year.
Computer credits
Computer, Perplexity's agent for multi-step work, runs on credits priced at 100 per US$1. Each Enterprise Pro seat includes 500 credits a month and each Enterprise Max seat 15,000, and unused monthly credits expire. Further use draws from an organization pool that admins fund and cap with usage limits for groups or members. Perplexity's examples put a quick fact at 15 to 70 credits, a multi-step research report at 350 to 950. It puts a data dashboard at 2,400 to 9,800, and an entire app at 15,000 or more.
- 45 Enterprise Pro and 5 Enterprise Max seats on annual billing cost US$34,250 a year (calculated).
- Those seats include 97,500 credits a month, worth about US$975 of Computer work (calculated).
- Heavy use on Enterprise Pro seats draws from the pool, so the pool's usage limits set the ceiling on spend.
Methodology
Every price is Perplexity's list price from its pricing page and its Help Center articles on Enterprise pricing, seats, plans, and credits, checked October 12, 2026. GILD calculated yearly totals and monthly conversions from those prices, and credit values at 100 credits per US$1. Texas A&M's figure comes from its IT service page.
