A free Perplexity Pro AI subscription is now available for Comcast Xfinity customers

Comcast Xfinity customers can get a free year of Perplexity Pro AI, but concerns about plagiarism have surfaced. Find out more.

If you’re a Comcast Xfinity customer, you can now claim a free year-long subscription to Perplexity Pro AI, an advanced answer engine. Perplexity, the company behind this AI service, announced the special offer on Threads, allowing Xfinity customers to explore its premium features at no cost. Unlike Perplexity’s free version, the Pro service provides unlimited access to quick answers using various AI models, including GPT-4o, Claude-3, and Sonar Large.

Engadget, a well-known tech website, hasn’t reviewed Perplexity Pro yet, but if you already pay for Xfinity, this could be a great opportunity to test the service for yourself and decide if it’s worth it.

How to claim your free subscription

Log into your Xfinity Rewards account to enjoy your complimentary year of Perplexity Pro. From there, you’ll receive a promo code to redeem on the Perplexity website. Once activated, you can start using the AI to answer all sorts of questions, from trivial matters like “Who played that quirky character in Office Space? ” (Answer: Stephen Root, who portrayed Milton) to more complex queries.

A Perplexity Pro subscription typically costs US$20 per month, but this special offer means you’ll get a whole year without paying a penny. It’s a deal that seems hard to ignore, but there are some important details you should be aware of before jumping in.

Potential concerns around Perplexity Pro

While a free subscription might sound tempting, it’s worth keeping in mind that Perplexity Pro has faced some controversy. Condé Nast, the media company that owns publications like Wired, has accused Perplexity of plagiarism. Additionally, Amazon, which hosts part of Perplexity’s infrastructure, has conducted an investigation to ensure that the AI company complies with its terms of service. However, Amazon has not made any direct accusations against Perplexity.

Given these issues, you might want to be cautious when relying on Perplexity’s answers. That said, considering it’s free, there’s little risk in trying it out for yourself to see how it works.
