Perplexity is widening the reach of its AI-powered browser, bringing Comet to Android users worldwide. The company has released the mobile version on the Google Play Store, making it free to download and putting it on equal footing with the desktop and iOS editions after months of gradual rollout.
Comet first surfaced this summer as a perk reserved exclusively for Perplexity’s $200-per-month Pro subscribers — a steep entry point that signaled the company’s ambitions to build a premium, AI-native browsing experience. That exclusivity didn’t last long. Perplexity opened the browser to all users last month, and today’s Android launch completes the company’s plan to make Comet broadly accessible across platforms.
The Android version mirrors the feature set available elsewhere. Users get full access to Perplexity’s AI assistant, real-time summarization for search results, and hands-free interaction via voice queries. Comet is designed to behave more like an active research companion than a traditional browser: instead of returning a list of links, it synthesizes information, answers follow-up questions, and maintains context across sessions. Perplexity pitches this as a way to streamline information gathering, especially on mobile devices where multitasking is limited.
