Perplexity’s Comet AI browser is now available as a standalone app for iPhone users. The tool debuted last summer on PC, but at the time it cost $200 per month to access. The new app is free, as is the recently released Android version.
The Comet AI browser launched in limited access on July 9, 2025, and quickly gathered millions of people in line. The browser was available to users with a Perplexity Max subscription plan for $200. In October, it became available for free download.
Comet combines the browser with a built-in Comet Assistant, an AI-powered personal assistant that accompanies the user in every tab. Users can ask it to summarize the content of a web page or conduct additional research to get more context on a particular topic.
Perplexity claims that Comet «acts as a personal assistant and thinking partner» to «turn curiosity into a driving force.»
In November, Perplexity released the Comet AI browser on Android, noting that the launch was driven by a large number of smartphone manufacturers who approached the startup with a request to integrate Comet into their devices and solutions.
So Comet is now available for iPhone, Android devices, Windows PCs, and Macs. There is no dedicated iPad app yet, but the standard Perplexity app is available for Apple tablets.
