Perplexity: Sonar Pro Search
🇺🇸 Perplexity · Sonar Pro
Overview
Perplexity: Sonar Pro Search is a large language model API from Perplexity, part of its Sonar Pro model family. With $3.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens, it is a premium-tier model where output volume is the main cost to watch. Output tokens cost about 5× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 200K-token context window (≈300 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. Beyond plain text it also accepts Image input, so it can be applied to multimodal tasks rather than text alone. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
