The provider pricing page that our daily tracker reads for this model.
Fetches the official Mintlify markdown twin (page URL + .md, text/markdown, ~140KB) instead of the ~1MB HTML; the HTML page_url shows the same perplexity/sonar row under the same header. The Available Models section has one <Tab> per provider family, each with one table: Model | Input ($/1M) | Output ($/1M) | Cache read ($/1M) | Service tiers | Docs. Listed prices are default processing; flex is 0.5x and priority 2x of the listed prices (Service tiers section), not tracked. The .md also embeds a PRICING JS object for the calculator widget; it holds the same agent rate and, under a separate sonar key, the different Sonar API product ($1/$1). Recipes read the human table, not that object.
The third-party price history (CC BY 4.0) that this page compares with our tracker.
First-party list price. Perplexity's Agent API model table prints $0.25 input, $2.50 output and $0.0625 cache read per 1M tokens for perplexity/sonar, with default processing only (no flex or priority tier). This is a different product from the retired Sonar Chat Completions model, which cost $1/$1 — not a price cut on it. Perplexity's pricing page bills tools separately from tokens, per call: web search $0.0025 per search ($0.001 with Fast Search), URL fetch $0.0005. A request that searches costs its tokens plus its searches.
