Have you ever heard of Perplexity AI, also known simply as Perplexity? This artificial intelligence combines the power of a search engine with the fluidity of an assistant like ChatGPT.
The problem is that its Pro subscription is fairly expensive and not necessarily affordable for occasional use.
👉 So I’m sharing a simple and legal trick to get Perplexity cheaper, from just €4/month and without a VPN.
It’s actually super simple (no more than 5min!), I explain everything you need to know in this article to avoid paying the full price of the Perplexity Pro subscription.
What exactly is Perplexity AI?
🔎 Perplexity is a fairly recent artificial intelligence, having been created in 2022 by the American company of the same name, which was already operating in the search engine sector.
This information is important, as Perplexity’s AI’s main quality is its real-time web search performance, enabling it to provide up-to-date answers.
This new-generation search engine is available via its web platform, but also through its Google Chrome extension and an iOS and Android application.
What are the differences with ChatGPT?
With the release of a number of AIs over the last few years, it’s fair to ask once again what distinguishes Perplexity from ChatGPT. Here’s a table summarising the main differences:
| Features | ChatGPT | Perplexity |
|---|---|---|
| Main objective | A versatile, creative and detailed conversational assistant | Fast, factual, sourced information search |
| Response style | More detailed, explanatory or imaginative dialogue | Shorter answers, synthetic, factual |
| How it works | Positioned more as a versatile conversational assistant, particularly with GPT-5, which opens up a whole new range of possibilities | Designed to quickly search, cross-reference and popularise information, a bit like an intelligent response engine |
| AI models available | Exclusive use of Open AI models (GPT-4.1, GPT-5, o3, etc.) | Multi-model approach offering flexible access to different AI (Sonar, GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, etc.) |
| Ideal for | ✔️ Versatile support: code, learning, writing, bug resolution, etc. ✔️ Create editorial content or images | ✔️ Conduct fast, reliable research ✔️ Get answers from verified sources ✔️ Save time in your research, studies or work |
A few features that I find useful on Perplexity:
- Target a sentence in an answer to “check the sources” by finding its source directly on a web page.
- Linked questions” sections following a Perplexity answer to broaden a subject.
- Spaces for creating a hub of sourced knowledge around a theme
The benefits and features of Perplexity Pro
Since the free plan is similar to a freemium format, i.e. you can try out almost everything but you are limited, you might wonder what the differences are between Perplexity Pro and free?
And unfortunately, there are some differences! Especially in terms of limitations, which are very low on the free plan.
➡️ Only basic searches are unlimited, but they cannot be used to perform complex tasks involving the manipulation of data, code, document generation, etc.
➡️ For advanced searches, based on several data models such as GPT-5 or Claude, the Pro subscription will be required, as the free plan only allows 5 daily searches of this type, compared with around 300 with the Pro plan.
And we all know that questions come thick and fast in a conversation, and that they get exhausted very quickly 😉

The cheapest way to get Perplexity (€4/month)
GamsGo is a platform renowned for offering discounted digital subscriptions (streaming, music, software, AI, etc.).
GamsGo includes services such as Netflix, Adobe, ChatGPT Plus, Duolingo… and of course Perplexity AI. It’s a 100% legal solution that lets you access official subscriptions without a VPN!
GamsGo gives you access to a real Pro subscription on Perplexity for much less and above all without having to use a VPN!
Thanks to the sharing of accounts that the platform manages itself, you can benefit from a much cheaper and more stable service, since GamsGo directly manages the distribution of access.

The two Perplexity subscription offers available on GamsGo
GamsGo offers two types of access to Perplexity Pro:
- Shared account: you access Perplexity via a group account managed by GamsGo. This is the cheapest option, from just €4/month (instead of €20/month).
- Dedicated account: you get your own account, with your own login and password. It’s a bit more expensive, but still a lot cheaper than the official subscription.
👉 In both cases, you get the same unrestricted functionality on a Perplexity Pro account.
3 tips to pay even less for your Perplexity Pro on GamsGo
In addition to the already very advantageous subscription, I’m sharing with you 3 great plans to reduce your bill even further:
- Use a GamsGo promo code
You can find them regularly on the site or use my code to save an extra 3 to 5%: budgenie
- Activate automatic renewal
- This option allows you to benefit from a small additional discount. And don’t worry, you can cancel it at any time from your GamsGo account, at least 5 days before the due date.
- Choose a long-term subscription (12 months)
- If you’re sure you want to use Perplexity over the long term, opt for an annual plan. The monthly price will then drop even lower!
These 3 little tricks allow you to benefit from additional reductions. It’s not much, but it still allows you to go from €4.67/month to €3.96/month and therefore pay less for Perplexity Pro!
