"Invites to Perplexity's new AI-powered web browser, Comet, are one of the web's hottest commodities these days. The new product was made available first to the AI firm's $200-per-month Max subscribers and a small group of invitees. But now there's a new way to jump ahead on the waitlist. On Wednesday, PayPal announced it's giving its customers, including PayPal and Venmo users, early access to Comet as well as a free year's subscription to Perplexity Pro, normally $200 per year."
"The browser, launched in July, offers an integrated AI assistant, AI-generated summaries of search results, product comparisons, and other features. While typically a co-marketing relationship isn't news, it's worth paying attention to this deal because of PayPal's ability to position Comet in front of millions of U.S. customers, and later, even more globally. The arrangement is part of a new partnership between PayPal and the AI provider, which benefits both companies in different ways."
"For PayPal, it has the potential to draw users to its apps with the promise of the Comet invite and free subscription, while also calling attention to its newer subscriptions hub feature, which provides a single destination where users can view and manage their recurring subscriptions. (Alongside this, PayPal is running a promotion that pays out $50 to customers who link and pay for at least three subscriptions through its service.)"
PayPal is granting PayPal and Venmo users early access to Perplexity's AI-powered browser Comet and a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription. Comet, launched in July, includes an integrated AI assistant, AI-generated search-result summaries, product comparisons, and other features. The offer is available through PayPal and Venmo apps and is part of a new partnership that benefits both companies. PayPal can use the promotion to drive app engagement and spotlight its subscriptions hub, including a $50 promotion for linking multiple subscriptions. Perplexity gains broad exposure and a pathway to increase paid subscribers as the free year ends.
