Step 1

Everything in this install runs on the Max plan

Perplexity sells two paid plans that matter here. Pro is the cheaper one. Max is the top one, about $200 a month, less on annual. The agents need Max. Brain, the memory that connects your sessions, is Max only. The monthly credits are Max only. The highest limits for Computer are Max only. Pro gets you in the door and runs out fast once agents are doing real work.

Pro gets you in the door. Max is the plan the agents live on.

Credits are how Perplexity counts the work

100 credits is one dollar. Max gives you 10,000 a month plus a one time 35,000 bonus when you start. That bonus expires about 30 days after you get it, which is why we want the call inside your first month. The setup happens once, up front, and the bonus is built to cover it.

One thing before you click

When you sign up through my link, I earn a commission on what you spend. The claim form is how I connect your account to your Scaling Agents access and your install. Nothing in the install changes if you skip the link, but I do need the form.

Your steps

What you do before the call

  1. Open the pricing page and pick Max.

  2. Subscribe through my partner link: pplx.ai/scott-oldford-z6li.

    It is the same link in your welcome email, so use whichever is handy. That link ties your account to the install.

  3. Submit the claim form from the same email after you subscribe.

    Without it we cannot connect your account to your Scaling Agents access.

  4. Check the plan took.

    Click your name at the bottom left, then Settings, then Account. Your subscription should read Max.

Questions

Before you ask

I already have Pro. Do I need to change?

Yes. Upgrade to Max from Settings, then Account. The agents will not run properly on Pro.

Monthly or annual?

Annual if you are sure. Monthly if you want to see month one first. The install is the same either way.

Does Max come with the Scaling Agents?

No. The agents are mine and came with your install purchase, in the bundle zip in your welcome email. Max is the computer they run on.

My credits went fast on day one.

Normal in setup week. Foundation and the context load run heavy models on long jobs. Week three should not look like that.
