Headline pricing Free tier with 1,000 credits/mo; paid from $9/mo for 10,000 credits Free to download; Perplexity Max at $200/mo unlocks the highest limits
Free tier Yes, and it runs real scenarios: 1,000 credits a month across 2 active scenarios, with a 15-minute minimum run interval. Annual billing is advertised at 15%+ savings on the paid tiers. Yes. The browser is a free download and works without a paid Perplexity plan. The agentic features and the higher query limits are what a subscription buys.

Pros and cons

๐Ÿ”—

Make

Productivity ยท freemium

Pros

  • โœ“Visual canvas makes branching and conditional automations readable in a way a linear step list does not
  • โœ“Routers and error handler modules cost zero credits, so defensive structure does not inflate the bill
  • โœ“3,000+ connectors including 400+ AI integrations, which covers most of what a small team needs to wire together
  • โœ“Free tier runs genuine scenarios on a schedule rather than expiring like a trial
  • โœ“Entry pricing starts at $9/mo, well below what comparable platforms charge for a first paid tier

Cons

  • ร—Credits are consumed per module action, so a multi-step scenario burns the allowance far faster than the plan names suggest
  • ร—The advertised $9, $16 and $29 prices are only the 10,000-credit rung of a slider, and real costs climb from there
  • ร—Free tier caps scheduling at a 15-minute minimum interval and execution at 5 minutes, which rules out anything time-sensitive
  • ร—The canvas is harder to learn than a form-based builder, which is a real cost for occasional users
  • ร—Full-text log search sits on Pro, so debugging on the cheaper tiers is more painful than it should be
โ˜„๏ธ

Comet

Productivity ยท freemium

Pros

  • โœ“Assistant operates on the page you are already viewing instead of in a separate window with no context
  • โœ“Chromium base keeps most Chrome extensions working, which removes the usual dealbreaker when switching browsers
  • โœ“Import carries bookmarks, passwords, cookies, history and extensions across in one step
  • โœ“Free to download with no subscription required to start using it
  • โœ“Background Assistants give paying users parallel agentic tasks with confirmations gathered in one place

Cons

  • ร—Browser-agent limits are published only as relative claims, so no tier states how many agent queries you actually get
  • ร—The features most people want the browser for, Background Assistants and Email Assistant, sit behind the $200/mo Max tier
  • ร—Switching browsers is a bigger commitment than installing an extension, and profile migration is never fully clean
  • ร—An assistant with access to your logged-in sessions is a meaningful trust decision that a chat window in another tab does not require
