Step-by-step: download invoices from Perplexity
- 1
Sign in to Perplexity with the billing owner account
Go to perplexity.ai and sign in with the email that actually owns the subscription. Consumer Pro billing is tied to a single user, not a workspace, so the account that pays is the only one that sees invoices. If you set the subscription up on a personal email and then moved the charge to a company card, make sure you log in as the original Pro owner.

Open Settings and then the Subscription tab
Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner, choose Settings, and open the Subscription tab. The direct URL is perplexity.ai/settings/subscription. Here you will see the current plan (Pro monthly or annual), the renewal date, and a Manage subscription button that hands off to the billing portal.

Download each invoice PDF from the Stripe-hosted portal
Click Manage subscription. Perplexity runs its Pro billing through Stripe, so you land in a Stripe customer portal with your full invoice history. Click the Download link next to each billing cycle to save the PDF. The seller on the invoice is Perplexity AI, Inc., even though the template is the standard Stripe invoice layout.

Handle Enterprise and API billing separately if they apply
Enterprise Pro runs on a different flow entirely. Admins manage seats, payment methods, and invoices inside the Enterprise admin console that your workspace onboarding email links to. Sonar API usage has its own pay-as-you-go page at perplexity.ai/settings/api. Neither of those lives on the consumer Subscription tab, so grab invoices from whichever of the three surfaces you are actually billed on.
About Perplexity billing
Perplexity is an answer engine. Ask it a question, get a grounded response with sources. For finance, the same product sells in three very different billing shapes, and each keeps its invoices in a different place.
Consumer Pro seats bill through a Stripe customer portal tied to a single user. Enterprise Pro workspaces bill through a separate admin console that your personal account cannot see. Sonar API usage bills pay-as-you-go on its own page. Mixing up the three is the number one reason a Perplexity invoice goes missing at month end.
If you expense Perplexity Pro at work, edit the Billing information block inside the Stripe customer portal before your next renewal. The default entity on a consumer Pro invoice is your personal name, and many AP systems reject personal-name invoices for SaaS. Two minutes now saves a back and forth with your finance team later.
About Perplexity
Perplexity AI is an AI-powered search and answer engine founded in 2022 and headquartered in San Francisco. It runs a consumer product at perplexity.ai, a Pro subscription for individuals at 20 USD per month or an annual plan, an Enterprise Pro tier for organizations with SSO and admin controls, and a developer API branded as Sonar. Consumer Pro runs on Stripe, so the invoice layout, customer portal, and receipt emails follow the standard Stripe convention with Perplexity AI, Inc. listed as the seller. Enterprise Pro and Sonar API billing live on separate surfaces and do not appear under the same Subscription tab.

Why people stop doing this by hand
One person, one Pro seat, one annual renewal: the Stripe portal is enough. The mess starts when the same company pays for Pro under a founder email, Enterprise Pro under an ops email, and Sonar API under a developer email, all in the same month. Three surfaces, three invoice trails, three different logins, and the consumer Subscription tab only knows about one of them.
Teams also tend to seed Pro seats across multiple personal accounts when they first try Perplexity, then promote to Enterprise later without migrating the old seats. Those old Pro invoices keep arriving at whichever personal Gmail set them up, and finance never sees them unless someone forwards each one by hand. The Stripe portal does not bulk-export, the Perplexity app has no admin view of consumer billing, and the Sonar API page does not know about the Pro side.
Perplexity is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, open the Subscription tab or the Stripe portal once, and the extension captures new invoices in the background. No API token setup, no forwarding address, no chasing down which personal email owns which Pro seat this month.
Next step
If you are a solo Pro subscriber on an annual plan, the Stripe portal is genuinely enough. If your company pays for Perplexity across consumer Pro seats, an Enterprise workspace, and the Sonar API at the same time, connect Perplexity to Inbox Ledger once and let every invoice land in one dashboard instead of three.
Where to look in the dashboard
- Avatar → Settings → Subscription is the entry point for consumer Pro billing
- Manage subscription button opens the Stripe customer portal where invoices download one at a time
- Settings → API is where Sonar API usage charges and their invoices live, billed separately from Pro
- Enterprise billing sits outside the main app, inside the admin console linked from your workspace onboarding email
- Billing information inside the Stripe portal controls company name, address, and tax ID on future Pro invoices
Before you start — quick checklist
- The plan line on the invoice reads "Perplexity Pro" with the matching monthly or annual amount
- Your company name and tax ID are on the Bill to block, not just a personal email
- VAT, GST, or equivalent is broken out when your jurisdiction requires it, or correctly omitted under reverse charge
- The invoice number, billing period, and total match the Stripe renewal receipt in your inbox
- The file is a finalized PDF from Stripe, not the HTML preview in your browser
- Enterprise invoices are fetched from the admin console, not the consumer Subscription tab
Pro tips
- Perplexity Pro is billed monthly or annually. Annual plans renew as a single upfront charge once a year, so you get one PDF per year rather than twelve. Budget for that when the renewal month comes around.
- Sonar API billing is completely separate from the consumer Pro subscription. Usage invoices appear on the API page, not under Subscription, and they run on their own pay-as-you-go cadence.
- Enterprise Pro workspaces bill through an admin console with its own seat management and invoice history. If you are on Enterprise, the consumer Subscription tab in your personal account will be empty even when your company is paying.
- Edit the Billing information block inside the Stripe portal before your next renewal to add company name, address, and VAT or GST number. Past invoices cannot be rewritten, but future ones will carry the correct details.
- If you downgraded from Pro to free, the old invoice history remains accessible via the Stripe portal for as long as the account exists. Download them while you still have a login.
