Perplexity Max and Enterprise Max
The tier that decides what your team can actually use.
Max and Enterprise Max are Perplexity’s top plans. They are what gives you Computer and Comet Assistant, along with unlimited Labs use and the newest models. Enterprise Max adds the security and administration controls a business needs before it rolls anything out.

In plain terms
Buying the wrong tier is the most common Perplexity mistake.
Most of the capability people want sits above the entry plan.
Without it
- Everyone gets the same plan regardless of need
- The feature people asked for is on a higher tier
- No single administrator view of who has what
- Business data governed by a consumer agreement
With it
- Seats matched to the work each person does
- The people who need agents have the tier for it
- Central administration, single sign-on and audit
- Enterprise terms with data kept out of training
What CG TECH can do with Perplexity Max
Buy the tier the work needs, not the one on the front page.
We map who genuinely needs agent capability against who needs good search, then size the plan mix. For most businesses that is a small number of Max seats, not a blanket upgrade.
Enterprise Max brings central administration, single sign-on and the assurances a security team asks for, including SOC 2 Type II and enterprise data being kept out of model training.
A licence nobody uses is the most expensive kind. We run the first use cases with the people who asked for it, so the seats you buy get used in the first month.
Usage patterns change. We set a review point so seats can move to the people getting value, rather than sitting with whoever asked first.

Questions we hear a lot
Common questions about Perplexity Max
What is the difference between Pro, Max and Enterprise Max?
Pro covers everyday search and Spaces. Max adds the agent capability, including Computer and Comet Assistant, plus unlimited Labs use. Enterprise Max adds the business controls: central administration, single sign-on and enterprise data handling.
Do we need Max to use Computer?
Computer is available on the Max and Enterprise Max plans. That makes it a per-person decision, so it is worth identifying who will genuinely use it before buying broadly.
Is our data used to train models?
On the enterprise plans, no. Enterprise data is excluded from model training, and Perplexity holds SOC 2 Type II certification. If that matters to your security team, the enterprise tier is the one to be on.
Can we mix plans across the business?
Yes, and most businesses should. A small group doing research and drafting may need Max, while everyone else is well served by a lower tier. Paying the top rate for every seat is the usual overspend.
How does this compare with paying for Microsoft 365 Copilot?
They solve different problems. Copilot works inside your Microsoft 365 content and applications. Perplexity is stronger on open research and pulling from sources outside your tenant. Many businesses run both for different roles.
What happens if people do not use it?
That is the risk worth planning for. We run the first real use cases with the people who asked for the tool, and set a review point so unused seats can be reassigned rather than quietly renewed.
Do you resell Perplexity licences?
We advise on the plan mix and help you roll it out. Where you buy the licences is a separate question and we are happy for that to sit wherever suits you.
Can you help with a security review?
Yes. We put together what your security or risk team needs to assess: the data handling terms, the certifications, the administration controls, and what staff are and are not allowed to put into it.
Ready when you are
Not sure which Perplexity plan your team actually needs?
It is a quick conversation and it usually saves money. We map the work to the tiers and tell you where the entry plan is genuinely enough.
