Perplexity announces a new option for teams that already use AI day to day: Enterprise Max, a plan designed to bring Perplexity Max capabilities across your organization with enterprise-grade controls and security. What changes for your team and why might it interest you right now? (perplexity.ai)

What Enterprise Max offers

Enterprise Max brings together several improvements aimed at corporate use. It's not just more power — it's more control and greater ability to scale internal use cases.

• Research and Labs without limits: Research can surface 100+ citations in reports and Labs enables data analysis, visualizations, and prototypes with no monthly cap. That removes the brake on iterating large projects. (perplexity.ai)

• Advanced model selection: the product gives access to high-performance models like o3-pro and Opus 4.1 Thinking, built for complex reasoning and strategic analysis. (perplexity.ai)

• Integrated assistant and better Comet experience: the Comet Max Assistant is available on the Enterprise Max plan for those using the Comet browser. That means stronger responses right inside your workflow. (perplexity.ai)

• File limit multiplied by 10: organizations can now upload up to 10,000 files in their workspace and 5,000 in Spaces, compared to much lower limits in previous plans. This makes it easier to build internal knowledge bases and run research across many documents. (perplexity.ai)

• Improved video generation: up to 15 high-quality videos per month with Veo 3, useful for executive presentations, training material, and client deliverables. (perplexity.ai)

• Organization-level security and governance: audit logs, SCIM integration, configurable data retention, and real-time usage analytics. Previously these features required a minimum of 50 seats; now a single Max account gives the organization access. (perplexity.ai)

Enterprise Max combines advanced capabilities with security and compliance controls, maintaining SOC 2 Type II standards. (perplexity.ai)

Price and availability

Perplexity says Enterprise Max has been available since September 17, 2025, and is priced at $325 USD per user per month ($3,250 USD per year). Enterprise Pro remains at $40 USD per user per month ($400 USD per year). Admins can enable upgrades from account settings. (perplexity.ai)

Practical use cases: how you could use it

Do you work in finance, product, or marketing? Here are concrete examples.

• Financial analyst: you run research with 100+ citations, cross internal reports with market data, and deliver an executive report with dashboards and visualizations built in Labs.

• Product team at a startup: you prototype features with real data, build a dashboard that integrates internal docs and feedback, and automate investor reports.

• Training area: you produce up to 15 high-quality videos for onboarding and technical training, reducing the time people take to get up to speed.

• IT and security team: you monitor usage, apply data retention policies, and manage access with SCIM to satisfy audits.

These are examples of what the company says the plan enables; adapting them requires reviewing costs and security for your context. (perplexity.ai)

Is it for your organization? Quick questions to decide

• Is your team hitting monthly query or storage limits? If yes, Enterprise Max can remove that bottleneck.

• Do you need more capable models for technical or strategic analysis? If yes, access to o3-pro and Opus 4.1 Thinking matters.

• Does your compliance area require traceability and data retention? Enterprise Max includes tools that make audits easier.

If you're thinking of adopting: 1. run a pilot with a set of Max users; 2. define impact metrics (time saved, quality of deliverables, reduction in external costs); 3. do a security review with your IT team.

Reflective conclusion

Perplexity's pitch is clear: offer research and creation power without limits, but with the controls companies need to deploy AI at scale. Is it worth paying a lot more per user? It depends on how much value your team extracts from that extra power and whether the included governance reduces operational risk.

If you're evaluating AI tools for your organization, this gives you a hint of where vendors are heading: more capacity, deeper integration, and above all more options for IT to keep control. If you want, I can help you build a technical and business checklist to evaluate a pilot with Enterprise Max.
