Perplexity - AI Search & Chat cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Perplexity - AI Search & Chat stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Perplexity - AI Search & Chat will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Perplexity - AI Search & Chat directly.

Why is Perplexity - AI Search & Chat still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Perplexity - AI Search & Chat as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Perplexity - AI Search & Chat account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Perplexity - AI Search & Chat app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.

No. You keep full access to Perplexity - AI Search & Chat until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
