Frequently asked questions
How much does Perplexity's sonar-pro cost?
sonar-pro costs $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Use the calculator above to estimate your own monthly cost from your expected request volume and average token counts.
What is the cheapest Perplexity model?
sonar is Perplexity's cheapest current Sonar model, priced at $1 per million input tokens and $1 per million output tokens, versus $3 / $15 for the flagship sonar-pro.
How does Perplexity API pricing work?
Perplexity bills per token, separately for input tokens (what you send) and output tokens (what the model generates), priced per million tokens. Output tokens typically cost more than input tokens because generation is more compute-intensive. Total request cost is (input tokens × input price + output tokens × output price) / 1,000,000, multiplied by your request volume.
How do I estimate my monthly Perplexity API cost?
Enter your expected monthly request volume and average input/output tokens per request into the calculator above, pick one or more Sonar models to compare, and it computes monthly cost, annual cost, cost per request, and cost per user instantly. Add an optional monthly growth rate to see a 12-month cost projection.
