Meta AI vs Perplexity: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Meta AI itself is free to use across WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Threads, the web, and the Meta AI app. You chat, search, and create images without paying anything.

• Everyday Usage ($5/month): Access to Muse Spark 1.2, 10 to 50 requests every 5 hours, image and video uploads, voice mode, and web search.

• High Usage ($15/month): Everything in Everyday Usage plus 3 times the usage, more requests, more multimodal inputs, and access to the latest models.

• Power Usage ($50/month): Everything in High Usage plus 10 times the usage, expanded requests, early access to new features, and higher file upload limits.

These paid tiers apply to Muse Code, Meta's terminal coding agent, rather than the free everyday assistant.

Perplexity offers plans for both individual users and businesses.

• Free ($0/month): Good for everyday questions, with citations on every answer and access to basic AI models.

• Pro ($20/month): Adds access to Perplexity Computer, more AI models, bonus credits, and searches from premium databases.

• Max ($200/month): Includes the highest level of access, 10,000 monthly credits, and the most advanced AI models.

For teams, Enterprise Pro costs $34 per seat each month when billed yearly, and Enterprise Max costs $271 per seat each month when billed yearly. Both include stronger security, admin controls, and support for searching internal files. Businesses that need extra security and custom setup can contact Perplexity for custom pricing.
