This model is deprecated. It may still respond for existing integrations, but it is no longer recommended for new work, and the figures below are retained as a historical record.
This calculator shows the math for Comet Max. Your decision needs more — current infrastructure, compliance requirements, actual workload patterns, volume tiers — that change which model is right for you.

✨ How recommendations work (v8.6.0): We scan all active models in the registry and only include those that support ALL your current inputs. For token-based models, we check if they can handle your token counts. For special pricing models (OCR, video, audio), we verify they have the correct pricing structure. Features marked requested were in your inputs but not supported by that model. Now using official provider pricing without reseller markups.

The Pinnacle of Verifiable Knowledge
Comet Max is the high-end enterprise search model from Perplexity, costing $25.00 for 1M/1M tokens. It is designed for researchers who require the absolute maximum number of citations and verified sources per query. Unlike smaller models, Comet Max performs multi-step verification, cross-referencing global databases to ensure its text output is 100% accurate and up-to-date with 2026’s events.
High-End Analytics
Ideal for government briefing and high-level market analysis, Comet Max integrates its retrieval logic directly into the generation process. For a project requiring a 1M token summary of global market trends, Comet Max provides a level of factual depth that standard LLMs cannot match. Its reliability makes it the standard for legal and medical research where information drift is a risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these AI model cost calculations?
Our calculations are based on official pricing from each provider (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, xAI, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral) and are updated regularly.
We account for all factors including multimodal inputs, caching discounts, batch API pricing, tool usage multipliers, OCR processing, audio minutes, silence fees, and research mode pricing.
Note: Reseller markups and dedicated instance multipliers have been removed to reflect official provider pricing.
How do Market Recommendations work (v8.6.0)?
Our recommendation engine scans the entire model registry and only includes models that support ALL your current input parameters (tokens, images, video, audio, OCR, tools, batch API, etc.). It calculates exact costs with your settings and sorts by price, showing you the best value options that can handle your complete workflow. Special pricing models (OCR, video, audio, image generation) are properly handled and only appear when their specific input types are requested. v8.6.0 removes reseller markups (20% buffer) and dedicated instance multipliers to reflect official provider pricing.
What is the YemHub AI Calculator Tool?
The YemHub AI Calculator is the most comprehensive tool for estimating costs and comparing performance metrics across 50+ AI models. It calculates token-based pricing, analyzes multimodal processing, accounts for state-dependent pricing (context cliffs, tiered tunnels), provides optimization recommendations, and now offers intelligent market matching to find the best alternatives for your specific needs.
Related model pricing
Comet Max currently costs $5.00 / $25.00 per 1M tokens. These are the models worth pricing against it, taken live from the tracked registry.
