Perplexity AI Enterprise Pro is the team version of Perplexity’s answer engine, designed for companies that need fast research, internal-knowledge search, and enterprise grade security instead of a single personal account. It combines real-time web search, internal document search, and powerful admin controls so knowledge workers can get in-depth answers in seconds while IT keeps data locked down.
Below is a structured breakdown of what Enterprise Pro includes, how it’s priced, and when it makes sense to choose it over regular Perplexity Pro or Enterprise Max.
According to Perplexity’s help center, Enterprise Pro is their solution for organizations that want to boost team productivity while meeting strict security and privacy standards. It’s built to give knowledge workers fast, reliable, cited answers without wading through ads or SEO spam.
Key ideas:
It’s Perplexity for teams, not individuals.
It layers team management, internal knowledge search, and admin controls on top of the regular Pro experience.
It’s part of the wider Perplexity Enterprise offering, which has two tiers:
Enterprise Pro – core enterprise plan
Enterprise Max – higher-end option with much larger limits and unlimited Labs/Research queries
Enterprise Pro is used by organizations across finance, tech, sports, and government; public case studies name customers like NVIDIA, Databricks, Stripe, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and more.
Enterprise Pro lets your team search:
The web, with Perplexity’s real-time, citation-rich answer engine
Internal knowledge—files and repositories that your organization connects via Connectors (Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint and other file apps)
You can:
Upload up to 100 files per repository or Space for internal knowledge search
Choose which domains and data sources are included
Use AI to summarize, cross-reference, and fact-check documents in context
This means a single search can answer questions from both your private documents and the public web.
Enterprise Pro users can switch between multiple top-tier models—Perplexity mentions GPT-4 Omni, Claude 3 and others—to tailor answers for depth, speed, or style.
Admins can also control which models are allowed in the workspace, to match internal security or compliance policies.
Teams can upload documents (PDFs, slides, and more) to:
Summarize long reports
Extract key takeaways
Cross-check claims against other sources
Find similar sources or related material
For harder questions, Enterprise Pro users can also use Deep Research / Pro Research modes (similar to consumer Pro/Max), which run multiple searches, read more sources, and produce structured reports with citations.
On top of the chat interface, Enterprise Pro supports:
Threads – ongoing conversations for specific topics
Pages and Spaces – shared collections of threads, documents, and insights for a project, department, or client
Admins can control who can create, edit, or share these objects, so knowledge stays organized and compliant.
Security is where Enterprise Pro really differentiates itself from consumer plans.
Perplexity states clearly that enterprise data is never used to train or fine-tune their models, and contracts with third-party model providers (like OpenAI and Anthropic) also prohibit training on Perplexity enterprise data.
Perplexity documents that their enterprise platform is:
SOC 2 Type II certified, with independent auditors verifying controls over security, availability, and confidentiality
GDPR and HIPAA compliant, with transparent data handling and user-control mechanisms
PCI-compliant for payment processing
The Trust Center and security docs describe layered protections around infrastructure, access control, endpoint security, and vendor review.
For Enterprise Pro:
Files attached to threads are automatically deleted after seven days.
Files stored in Spaces don’t auto-expire, but are encrypted at rest and in transit.
Admins can also enforce incognito mode (no search history) and configure retention policies.
Enterprise Pro offers a dedicated Security Hub where admins can:
Manage user roles and permissions
Decide who can upload/download files or share AI-generated content
Control access to Threads, Pages, and Spaces
Approve or restrict Connectors (Google Drive, SharePoint, etc.)
Enable/disable specific LLMs
Set up SSO + MFA + SCIM for identity management and provisioning
Review audit logs and get real-time alerts on critical actions (like file uploads/downloads)
Combined with their cloud security stack (AWS + Wiz, SIEM, bug bounty program and VDP), Enterprise Pro is designed to meet stringent corporate security expectations.
Note: As with any AI product, some independent security researchers have raised concerns about related tools like the Comet browser; organizations should review Perplexity’s latest security posture and disclosures as part of their own risk assessment.
From Perplexity’s official enterprise billing FAQ:
Enterprise Pro
$40 per seat per month, or
$400 per seat per year (about a 20% discount vs monthly)
Enterprise Max
$325 per seat per month, or
$3,250 per seat per year
Prices are per user (“seat”), and you only pay for active members. Larger teams (250+ users), schools, nonprofits, and government agencies may qualify for discounts.
A few important details:
Usage limits: Standard Enterprise Pro usage is similar to consumer Pro; Enterprise Max dramatically raises limits (practically unlimited Research/Labs queries and much higher file/video quotas).
API credits are separate: Enterprise Pro doesn’t include API usage; Sonar API credits are billed independently.
No free trials: The help center explicitly notes there are no trials for Enterprise Pro or Enterprise Max.
Compared to Perplexity Pro (individual):
Same core answer engine and research experience
Adds: user management, SSO/SCIM, Security Hub, audit logs, internal knowledge search at org scale, centralized billing and governance
Compared to Enterprise Max:
Enterprise Pro is the baseline team plan
Enterprise Max adds:
Virtually unlimited Research/Labs queries
Much larger file and video generation limits
Stronger collaboration features for power users and knowledge managers
Organizations can mix both licenses—e.g., Enterprise Max for research-heavy roles, Enterprise Pro for everyone else.
Perplexity highlights Enterprise Pro for a wide range of teams:
Product & Engineering
Financial services & investors
Summarizing earnings calls and filings
Rapid due-diligence research across industries and markets
Marketing & Sales
Market and audience research
Quick insight packs before client calls
Educators & researchers
Literature reviews with Academic-style search
Institution-wide knowledge hubs with governed access
Public sector & regulated industries
Where “no training on our data” and strong compliance are mandatory (e.g., USADA case study for athlete data).
Perplexity’s onboarding guide lays out the high-level steps:
Create an Enterprise organization
Visit the Perplexity Enterprise page and click Get started or Request a demo.
Set up your organization and choose your initial number of seats.
Select plans (Pro and/or Max)
Assign Enterprise Pro or Max licenses per user depending on their usage needs.
Configure identity and security
Set up SSO + MFA + SCIM with your existing identity provider.
Use the Security Hub to define permissions, data retention, and connector rules.
Connect internal knowledge sources
Add file Connectors (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint) and upload repositories/Spaces.
Decide which corpora each team or Space can access.
Train and onboard your teams
Show users how to:
Ask questions in the right Focus modes
Combine web + internal search
Save Threads, Pages, and Spaces
Monitor usage and refine policies
Use audit logs and alerts to watch adoption and adjust permissions as needed.
Enterprise Pro makes the most sense if your organization:
Has many knowledge workers doing research, analysis, or writing
Needs search across internal files plus the web, not just a standalone chatbot
Requires strong security, compliance, and admin control over AI tools
Wants team-level collaboration (Spaces, Pages, shared Threads) instead of individual Pro accounts
If you just need a powerful personal research tool, Perplexity Pro or Max might be enough. For multi-team organizations, though, Perplexity AI Enterprise Pro gives the structure, security, and governance layer needed to make AI search a trustworthy part of everyday workflows.
