Background
Perplexity describes Comet Plus as a compensation model aligned to three traffic types: human visits, search citations, and agent actions. These categories determine how revenue is attributed to publishers.
The program sits alongside the Comet browser and assistant. Subscribers will see answers that reference participating publishers and can trigger agent workflows on their sites. Revenue distributions are drawn from subscriber payments after a compute fee.
