The terms that decide whether you get paid

Paid whenReferred customer signs up and converts to a paying plan.
Attribution windowNot published (third-party sources conflict — some cite 90 days, one cites 30 days)
Payment delayAbout 30 days: the company's own help article states pending payouts are issued "once your referrals complete the 30-day review period," with Dub releasing payment afterward
Payment scheduleNot published (tracked and paid out via the Dub Partners platform)
Payout formBank transfer, via a bank account connected inside the Dub partner dashboard (Dub uses Stripe Connect for payouts)
Self-referralProhibited under the terms that govern this same Dub registration page: Perplexity's Campus Partners Program Terms bar partners from "using your own link to sign yourself up or benefit personally from your promotional activities." It is not confirmed whether this specific clause also governs the separate 10% recurring commission structure described elsewhere in this record, since the two may be different tracks on the same Dub workspace — see the unfiled note below.
ApprovalNot published for application; a separate ~30-day quality review process applies before a referral's commission is finalized/paid
Important
10% recurring is a modest rate for a consumer AI subscription product. Most mechanics are still undisclosed to the public — no stated cookie window, minimum payout, self-referral rule, or commission duration — because the real program terms sit behind a Dub Partners account that only shows details after signup. The one concrete number the company publishes on its own help pages is a roughly 30-day review period before a referral's commission is finalized and paid out through Dub. Separately, the older consumer-facing referral perks (the Comet Referral Program and the "Give a month, Get a month" Pro referral program) have both been discontinued, so anyone still describing those as active is out of date. Direct enrollment keeps signup simple, but the lack of disclosed terms for the actual affiliate program is itself a real gap for evaluating it.

What you would be selling

A modest 10% recurring commission on a consumer AI search subscription, direct enrollment, but with essentially no published mechanics and a single product.

Perplexity is one brand with 1 product, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.

Everything Perplexity publishes about how the commission is earned and paid. A term shown as not researched is one Perplexity does not publish, not one that does not apply.

How this programme compares to its rivals was written on August 26, 2026, from the verified terms above.
On September 27, 2026, the payment delay, payment schedule, payout method, and approval terms were checked directly against Perplexity's own help center article and confirmed as a roughly 30-day review period administered through the Dub Partners platform, with payout by bank transfer. The same visit confirmed, in the company's own words, that both the standalone Comet Referral Program (ended November 6, 2025) and the older Pro-subscriber 'Give a month, Get a month' referral program (ended October 6, 2025) are discontinued and distinct from the 10% recurring Dub-powered affiliate program tracked here. The apply link was corrected to point to the actual Dub Partners signup page, since the previously listed help center link covers only these now-closed consumer promotions and does not itself describe the affiliate program's application flow. Route in, customer requirement, clawback policy, minimum payout, and where payouts land remain undisclosed publicly, since Dub only surfaces those terms to an approved partner after account creation; these gaps were re-checked rather than assumed.
On September 27, 2026, the last open question in this record, what a referred customer receives, was checked against the same Dub-hosted signup page used as the apply link and found not to configure any discount for a referred customer, closing that gap as checked-and-unpublished rather than leaving it unresearched. That same page revealed it currently runs under Perplexity's Campus Partners Program Terms, a program that pays students cash for verified promotional activity and explicitly forbids using your own link to sign yourself up or benefit personally, so the self-referral row above was filled from that quote; it remains an open question whether that program is one and the same as the 10% recurring commission structure described elsewhere here, or a separate student-only track sharing the same signup tool, and that uncertainty is recorded separately rather than folded into the settled facts above.
