This page tracks Perplexity, the AI answer engine, as it matters to site owners. It follows the Comet browser and its fights over agentic access.

It follows how Perplexity pays publishers and whether its crawlers can be trusted. And it follows a legal docket now at eleven cases across the US, Japan and Italy.

Perplexity discloses very little on a schedule. So this beat runs on court records, measured accusations and dated primary coverage.

Its last official usage figure is 780 million queries, from May 2025. Treat any newer number you see elsewhere with suspicion.

We update within a day or two of any big change. Each claim links to a source we have read, court files included.

A sealing order confirms Britannica's lawyers have inspected Perplexity's source code

There is no coverage of this anywhere. It is the biggest thing to happen in this docket in months.

On 21st Aug, Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave granted a sealing request from Encyclopaedia Britannica and Merriam-Webster. The case is Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. v. Perplexity AI, Inc. (1:25-cv-07546, S.D.N.Y.).

The plaintiffs had asked to file parts of a joint letter and four exhibits under seal.

The reason the order gives is the disclosure: the sealed passages contain "information revealed during on-site inspection of Perplexity's source code and highly confidential discussion of Plaintiffs' business strategy".

That is a discovery milestone rather than a ruling. The case has passed the stage where a plaintiff argues about what a system likely does.

Its lawyers and experts have now sat with the code. They did so under a Source Code Protocol and a Confidentiality and Protective Order the court entered earlier.

This claim turns on how a system retrieves, stores and reproduces text. For that, the source code is the evidence.

This order is the first confirmation on the record that Britannica's side has seen it.

Be clear about what is not knowable from here. The joint letter itself is a dispute the parties have put to the magistrate judge.

Its substance is redacted, and plaintiffs filed public versions with the confidential lines removed. Those files are not free to download from the docket.

We have read the order and not the letter. Nothing in the order says what the inspection found.

A sealing order is not a finding about anything.

The two motions to dismiss in this case remain briefed with no ruling. Our docket table has said that since it was built.

Discovery often runs while motions that could end a case sit undecided. That is normal rather than a signal.

Ninth Circuit vacates Amazon's injunction against Comet's shopping agent

Judge Milan D. Smith, Jr. wrote for the panel in Amazon v. Perplexity. He held Amazon unlikely to succeed on its Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California CDAFA claims.

The reason: the USER, not Perplexity, "accesses" Amazon when Comet's assistant acts at that user's direction.

It is the first appeals-court ruling on whether an AI agent "accesses" a website. For now, it is a green light for agentic browsing.

The court's staff summary says the panel "vacated the preliminary injunction and remanded for further proceedings". Amazon's other claims survive on remand, so the case continues in the district court.

The district-court half of the fight had gone the other way. Judge Maxine Chesney granted Amazon a preliminary injunction on 9th Mar, five months before the appeal landed.

Why it matters beyond these parties: must an AI agent identify itself, or does it carry its user's permissions? That is the open question of the agentic web.

The EFF, which backed Perplexity's position, reads the ruling as protecting browser-building generally. Publishers argued the opposite as amici: Digital Content Next told the court that "advertisers pay for their ads to be seen by humans, not AI agents".

Legal

Reddit's DMCA circumvention claims against Perplexity and SerpApi survive dismissal

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer largely denied the motions to dismiss in Reddit v. SerpApi, Perplexity and others. His opinion runs 63 pages.

The DMCA section 1201(a) circumvention claims proceed against both Perplexity and SerpApi.

Two holdings carry the weight. Google's SearchGuard was held to be a measure that controls access to copyrighted work.

Reddit was held to have standing. The court wrote, as quoted by MLex, that Reddit "epitomizes the 'global digital on-line marketplace for copyrighted works'" the DMCA protects.

Per Press Gazette's tracker, the judge found Reddit "has plausibly pleaded that Perplexity conspired with at least one of the three data scrapers to bypass access controls and obtain Reddit's material".

Not everything survived. A trafficking claim against SerpApi was dismissed, along with the state-law unfair-competition and unjust-enrichment claims.

Oxylabs' separate motion is still in briefing through late August.

Reddit's core theory comes from its October 2025 complaint. It says the defendants scraped Reddit content out of Google's search results rather than from Reddit itself.

Reddit calls that data laundering.

Legal

CNN sues Perplexity, the first US television network to sue an answer engine

Cable News Network v. Perplexity AI was filed on 28th May in the Southern District of New York. It went to Judge Loretta A. Preska, SiliconANGLE reported.

The complaint alleges "massive" infringement across thousands of stories, videos and images. It adds trademark claims over misattribution.

The back story is what stands out. A 2025 payment deal between the companies ended, and CNN then demanded Perplexity stop using its content and marks.

CNN had also been named a Comet Plus launch partner in October 2025. No source we have read connects the ended deal to that program, so we keep the two facts apart.

Perplexity's chief communications officer Jesse Dwyer responded: "You can't copyright facts."

CNN joins News Corp's Dow Jones, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, Britannica and Merriam-Webster on the US docket. Most of it is now in front of SDNY judges.

Comet ships on iPhone, completing the browser's platform story

Comet's iPhone release landed on 18th Mar, per 9to5Mac, a week after its planned date. That completed the platform set: iPhone, Mac, Windows and Android.

The browser has been free everywhere since October 2025.

The sequence had run desktop first, in July 2025, at first for $200-a-month Max subscribers. Android followed in November, prioritized, Perplexity said, "because of the volume of carriers and OEMs" asking to preinstall Comet.

Comet is the answer engine's distribution bet. The assistant rides along on each page, summarizes across tabs, and acts on the user's behalf.

That is exactly what Amazon took to court.

ProductPerplexity launches Computer, a cloud agent that routes work across 19 models

Computer is Perplexity's cloud agentic product, launched for $200-a-month Max subscribers. It routes work across 19 AI models and spawns subagents.

It is described as unifying "every current AI capability into a single system", per TechCrunch.

The coverage is also the best fetchable statement of which third-party models Perplexity exposes. Users pick:

  • Gemini Flash for visual output
  • Claude Sonnet 4.5 for software engineering
  • GPT-5.1 for medical research
  • Perplexity's own modified open-source models, for cost

That multi-model posture is the company's product thesis in miniature. Perplexity does not train frontier models.

It runs everyone else's on top of its own search index.

AdsPerplexity kills its ads program entirely

Perplexity has stopped advertising, with "no plans to bring them back". It confirmed that first to the Financial Times, then as reported by Search Engine Land and MacRumors.

A Perplexity executive framed the reversal around trust: "A user needs to believe this is the best possible answer." And: "We are in the accuracy business, and the business is giving the truth, the right answers."

The arc it closes ran fifteen months. Sponsored follow-up questions launched in November 2024 with Indeed and Whole Foods.

In April 2025, CEO Aravind Srinivas had said the Comet browser would help the company "get data even outside the app to better understand you" for hyper-personalized ads.

The shutdown leaves one open question, which no source we have found resolves. The 2024 publisher program shared AD revenue with its partner outlets.

What its payouts look like with no ads to share is unverified. The publisher economics section tracks what is known.

LegalThe New York Times sues Perplexity, a day after the Chicago Tribune

The New York Times filed on 5th Dec, per TechCrunch. The Chicago Tribune had filed the day before.

Both aim at retrieval-augmented generation rather than model training.

The Times' framing, from its filing: "RAG allows Perplexity to crawl the internet and steal content from behind our paywall and deliver it to its customers in real time", with outputs "often verbatim or near-verbatim reproductions".

Its corrected complaint, filed February 2026, recites DMCA takedowns, an October 2024 cease-and-desist and technical blocks Perplexity allegedly evaded. It pleads direct, derivative-work and contributory counts.

Perplexity's Jesse Dwyer, to TechCrunch: "Publishers have been suing new tech companies for a hundred years...Fortunately it's never worked."

The Tribune's suit adds a Comet angle, alleging the browser circumvents its paywall. Two days earlier, Italy's RTI and Medusa Film had filed the first Italian AI suit, in Rome.

That suit is aimed at TRAINING rather than retrieval. Together, those filings make that week the docket's densest.

LegalAmazon sues Perplexity over Comet's shopping agent

Amazon opened the agentic-access front on 4th Nov, per TechCrunch. A cease-and-desist demanded that Comet's agent stop shopping on Amazon without identifying itself.

A same-day lawsuit followed in the Northern District of California, under the CFAA and California's computer-access law. Amazon filed a preliminary-injunction motion at the same time.

Perplexity answered in a blog post titled "Bullying is not innovation". It argued that agents acting on human direction carry the user's permissions and need not self-identify.

That one dispute, whether an agent is its user or a bot, is the case's whole substance. It split the courts.

The district court granted Amazon an injunction in March. The Ninth Circuit vacated it in August, siding with the user-access reading for now.

This is a computer-access case, not a copyright one. That is why it matters to each agentic product and not only to answer engines.

LegalReddit sues Perplexity and the scraping supply chain behind it

Reddit filed against Perplexity AND its alleged suppliers, SerpApi, Oxylabs and AWMProxy, in the Southern District of New York. The claims are led by DMCA circumvention, per the SDNY Blog's case note.

The theory is distinctive. Rather than scraping Reddit directly, the defendants allegedly scraped Reddit content out of Google's search results.

That, Reddit says, bypassed its own access controls. Reddit calls it data laundering.

Two allegations give it teeth. A honeypot post visible only to Google's crawler surfaced in Perplexity answers within hours.

And after a cease-and-desist, Reddit says Perplexity's Reddit citations rose "roughly forty-fold", per Search Engine Journal's account of the complaint.

Perplexity posted its response on Reddit itself: "We won't be extorted, and we won't help Reddit extort Google."

The suit produced this docket's first major ruling in July 2026, when the circumvention claims survived dismissal.

ProductComet goes free worldwide, with seven publishers signed to Comet Plus

Comet went free for everyone on 2nd Oct after three months as a Max-only product, per TechCrunch. Perplexity said "millions" were on the waitlist.

Max users got a new background assistant that runs parallel tasks with a progress dashboard.

The publisher half of the launch: Press Gazette named the Comet Plus launch partners. They were:

  • CNN
  • Conde Nast, contributing paywalled New Yorker, Wired, Architectural Digest and Vanity Fair content
  • Fortune
  • the Los Angeles Times
  • the Washington Post
  • Le Monde
  • Le Figaro

Comet Plus was pitched as an AI-enhanced rival to Apple News. It costs 5 dollars a month standalone and is included with Pro and Max.

It promised 80% of its revenue to publishers.

A dating note for that roster: CNN sued Perplexity in May 2026 after a payment deal ended. Perplexity has not published a current partner list we can verify.

So treat the seven names as the launch roster, not today's.

Comet Plus: 80% of revenue to publishers, seeded by a $42.5 million pool

Comet Plus arrived as a 5-dollar-a-month subscription. Engadget spelled out the publisher split: "Publishers will get 80 percent of the revenue of Comet Plus, according to Perplexity, with the remaining 20 percent allocated to 'compute.'"

A starting pool of 42.5 million dollars seeds the payouts and grows with subscriptions.

The novel part is what gets paid for. It covers three traffic types: human visits, search citations and agent actions, per Search Engine Journal.

Paying for agent actions prices the exact thing publishers complain about. That is an AI reading a page so a human does not have to.

It joined, rather than replaced, the 2024 publisher program, which shared ad revenue with a different partner set. The two ran in parallel.

What the older program pays now that the ads it shared are gone is an open question. We track it in the publisher economics section.

Cloudflare accuses Perplexity of stealth crawling past no-crawl directives

Cloudflare's findings were published on 4th Aug 2025. When PerplexityBot and Perplexity-User are blocked, requests continue from an undeclared crawler.

The post states that "Perplexity uses not only their declared user-agent, but also a generic browser intended to impersonate Google Chrome on macOS when their declared crawler was blocked".

Cloudflare observed the pattern at 3 to 6 million requests a day across tens of thousands of domains. The requests came from rotating, undisclosed IPs and networks, sometimes without even fetching robots.txt.

The fallout was structural. Cloudflare delisted Perplexity as a verified bot and shipped blocking rules.

The accusation echoes through the legal docket, where scraping-despite-blocks is a recurring allegation.

These are Cloudflare's numbers and its reading of them. For what Perplexity's declared crawlers are supposed to do, and what blocking each means, see the SEO section.

What is Perplexity?

An answer engine that runs other companies' models over its own search index, now wrapped in a browser.

780MQueries in May 2025, the last usage figure Perplexity disclosed

Perplexity is an AI answer engine: ask a question, get a cited, synthesized answer built from live web search. Reports from August 2025 date its founding to August 2022, with launch later that year.

It grew from 10 million monthly visits in early 2023 to 780 million queries in May 2025. That is the last usage figure it has disclosed.

The product family around the engine:

  • Perplexity Pages (shareable AI-built pages)
  • the Sonar API for developers (folded into an Agent API in July 2026)
  • the Comet browser
  • Computer, the cloud agent for Max subscribers

The tiers:

  • Free
  • Pro at 20 dollars a month
  • Enterprise Pro at 40 dollars a seat
  • Max at 200 dollars
  • Comet Plus, the 5-dollar publisher-funding subscription included with Pro and Max

Perplexity trains no frontier model of its own. It routes across others.

Reports on its Computer product name Gemini Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5.1 in use, alongside Perplexity-modified open-source models.

That multi-model posture, plus a taste for distribution stunts like the 34.5-billion-dollar Chrome bid, is the company in two sentences.

A number to distrust: any 2026 Perplexity usage figure. The company has disclosed nothing verifiable since 780M queries for May 2025.

The "100M MAU" and queries-per-day numbers on stats sites are analyst estimates, not company disclosures.

Comet: the answer engine's browser

Free on each major platform since March 2026, and the subject of the year's defining agentic-access fight.

Comet is a Chromium browser with the Perplexity assistant riding along. It summarizes across tabs, manages email and calendar, navigates pages and acts on the user's behalf.

Aravind Srinivas has framed it as the path to "infinite retention". Its agentic behavior is what Amazon took to court.

The legal question Comet carries is bigger than Comet. When an agent acts at a user's direction, is that the user browsing or a bot scraping?

The Ninth Circuit's answer, for now, is the user. The docket section tracks the rest.

Perplexity's publisher economics: who gets paid, and from what

Two payment programs, one dead revenue stream, and a partner roster that ended up in court.

$42.5MThe initial Comet Plus pool that seeds publisher payouts

Perplexity has built two systems for paying publishers. Know the difference and you know most of its publisher story.

The 2024 publisher program shares AD revenue, a "double digit" percentage. It launched in July 2024 with Automattic, Der Spiegel, Entrepreneur, Fortune, the Texas Tribune and TIME.

That December it expanded by roughly sixteen outlets. It was born amid the Forbes and Wired plagiarism claims.

Its biggest absentees, the New York Times and News Corp, both later sued.

Comet Plus, from August 2025, is subscription-funded instead. It sends 80% of its revenue to publishers from a 42.5-million-dollar starting pool.

It pays for human visits, search citations and agent actions. CNN, Conde Nast, Fortune, the LA Times, the Washington Post, Le Monde and Le Figaro were the launch partners.

Both programs now carry asterisks we cannot resolve from any fetchable source. The ads that funded the 2024 program's payouts ended in February 2026.

Perplexity has not said what that program pays now. And the Comet Plus roster is a launch-time fact.

CNN sued in May 2026 after a payment deal ended. No current partner list is published where we can verify it.

The one clean consent-based deal on the record is a multi-year Getty Images license from October 2025. It displays Getty photos with attribution and source links, terms undisclosed.

Perplexity and your site: crawlers, citations and controls

What the declared bots do, what the Cloudflare episode means for trusting them, and how pay ties to citations.

Perplexity documents two bots. PerplexityBot indexes for the answer engine: "designed to surface and link websites in search results on Perplexity", and per the docs "not used to crawl content for AI foundation models".

Perplexity-User fetches when a user asks about a page. The same page is unusually frank about it: "Since a user requested the fetch, this fetcher generally ignores robots.txt rules."

The docs say robots.txt changes take up to 24 hours. They also publish IP lists (perplexitybot.json and perplexity-user.json) for WAF-level control.

Those lists matter because of the trust gap. Cloudflare's 2025 findings describe crawling that continues past blocks under an undeclared user agent.

Blocking by IP list and firewall, not robots.txt alone, is the sound approach here.

On the visibility side, Perplexity answers cite a handful of sources prominently. Citations are one of the three traffic types Comet Plus pays publishers for.

That makes Perplexity the one AI surface where being cited has a stated price attached.

Perplexity has nothing like Search Console. It offers site owners no citation reporting, so measurement means analytics referrer data and third-party tools.

Our working guidance matches the other AI surfaces: citable, specific, well-structured pages earn the mentions. No separate optimization discipline has evidence behind it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Perplexity?

An AI answer engine founded in 2022. Ask a question and it searches the web, writes an answer and cites sources.

It runs other companies' models over its own search index. Reports have named Gemini, Claude and GPT variants.

Since 2025 it also ships Comet, a browser with the assistant built in.

How many people use Perplexity?

The last figure Perplexity disclosed is 780 million queries in May 2025, about 30 million a day. It was growing more than 20% month over month at the time.

Nothing newer is verifiable. The 2026 user counts on stats sites are estimates, not disclosures.

Is the Comet browser free?

Yes, since 2nd Oct 2025, on iPhone, Mac, Windows and Android (iPhone completed the set in March 2026). Some agentic extras, like the background assistant, stay behind the $200-a-month Max tier.

Comet Plus, the publisher-funding content subscription, is $5 a month or included with Pro and Max.

Does Perplexity show ads?

No. Sponsored follow-up questions launched in November 2024.

Perplexity confirmed in February 2026 that ads are discontinued, with "no plans to bring them back". The reversal matters for publishers because the 2024 publisher program shared ad revenue.

Perplexity has not said what that program pays with no ads to share.

How does Perplexity pay publishers?

Through Comet Plus, announced August 2025. 80% of the subscription's revenue goes to publishers, from a starting $42.5 million pool.

It pays for human visits, search citations and agent actions. The older 2024 ad-revenue-share program ran in parallel with a different partner list.

Both programs' current rosters and payouts are unverified as of August 2026. One launch partner, CNN, has since sued.

How do I block Perplexity from my site, and does it work?

Block PerplexityBot in robots.txt to stay out of the answer engine's index. Changes take up to 24 hours per Perplexity's docs.

Know the limits. Perplexity-User, the on-demand fetcher, "generally ignores robots.txt rules" by Perplexity's own docs, and Cloudflare's 2025 findings describe undeclared crawling past blocks.

To enforce it, use the published IP lists and firewall rules rather than robots.txt alone.

Why is Perplexity being sued so much?

Eleven cases are on our tracked docket across the US, Japan and Italy.

Most are publisher copyright suits over retrieval-augmented generation. One (Reddit's) targets the SERP-scraping supply chain under the DMCA.

One (Italy's RTI and Medusa) targets model training, and Amazon's is a computer-access case about the Comet agent. The docket table above tracks the state of each.

What was the Perplexity bid for Google Chrome?

An unsolicited all-cash offer of $34.5 billion in August 2025, roughly double Perplexity's own valuation at the time. It came while remedies in the US search antitrust case were being weighed.

Perplexity said backers had agreed to fund it and pledged to keep Chromium open source. Google did not engage, and Comet went free worldwide seven weeks later.
