Perplexity Pro free for a year: here’s how to take advantage of the PayPal offer (saving €200)
One of the most talked-about AI search engines currently, Perplexity, has launched a promotion that is already generating buzz: 12 months of a free Perplexity Pro subscription simply by signing up with a PayPal account.
A savings of €200, with no commitment — and most importantly, no hidden traps.
This offer comes at a pivotal moment: conversational AI is becoming commonplace, yet advanced features often remain paid or limited. Here, Perplexity is removing the entry barrier and making its premium tools available to the general public.
Perplexity Pro: The AI Aiming to Replace Google (and ChatGPT)
Perplexity is not just a simple chatbot: it’s what the company calls a meta-search engine. Instead of relying on a single LLM, Perplexity combines:
- OpenAI (GPT-5)
- Anthropic (Claude Sonnet/Opus)
- Google Gemini 2.5 Pro
- Grok
- Sonar (in-house model)
The result is a powerful engine capable of real-time internet searching, citing its sources, and synthesizing complex topics in seconds.
The Perplexity Pro version, normally priced at $20/month (or $200/year), unlocks:
- Unlimited or almost unlimited “Pro” searches (300/day instead of 5)
- Access to premium AI models
- Advanced file analysis (PDFs, images, videos, presentations…)
- Multi-step searches, intelligent recommendations, report generation
- Thematic projects and collections
- Voice recognition and multi-AI integration
This is one of the most comprehensive premium offers in the sector.
How to Get 1 Year of Perplexity Pro for Free with PayPal?
The process is extremely simple:
- Visit the Perplexity x PayPal offer page: Perplexity displays a banner stating “Enjoy 12 months of Perplexity Pro.”
- Log in with your PayPal account: PayPal will ask you to choose a payment method — but nothing will be charged today, nor within the next 12 months.
- Activate the subscription: You will be instantly upgraded to Perplexity Pro, for a full year.
(Optional but recommended) Disable automatic renewal
Directly from PayPal: Settings → Automatic payments → Perplexity → Cancel. You will still retain the 12 free months, with no risk of future charges.
Additionally:
- The offer is valid only for new Pro subscribers
- It works immediately for all French PayPal accounts
- It can be canceled right after registration, without losing the benefit
There is Another Offer Available: Through Bouygues Telecom
For several months, Bouygues Telecom has been offering a year of free Perplexity Pro with certain mobile/fiber plans. However, the PayPal offer has the advantage of being simpler, available to everyone, and without operator commitments.
Important: AI is Powerful, but Not Infalible
Even though this offer is exceptional, it’s important to remember:
- Perplexity is still an AI engine, capable of making mistakes or hallucinating data.
- Always verify results when making purchases, sensitive decisions, or conducting technical research.
The PayPal offer is already available. The Bouygues offer has specific dates (6 months after activation for new customers, until December 31, 2025, for existing ones). No strict deadline has been announced for the PayPal offer in France.
