Free is listed as good for limited daily usage, with basic AI models and limited file uploads. The model picker, the larger Deep Research and file-upload allowances, and Computer access are Pro and Max features.

Base AI models only, 10 text prompts/day, 15 image prompts/day, API access pay-as-you-go with credits. No web search, no document uploads, no vision, no text-to-speech, no character creation, no video generation, and no TEE/E2EE access on this tier.

Perplexity states it retains personal information as long as the account is active and removes it from its servers within 30 days of account deletion, which is requested through a form rather than a settings button. Incognito sessions expire within 24 hours and are not recoverable. Opting out of AI training applies only to data collected after the opt-out; data already collected for training cannot be removed.

Anonymous-tier requests go to outside frontier-model providers, and Venice's own guidance is to assume that provider stores the content under its own policy. Private-tier and TEE/E2EE-tier requests are not stored — enforced by contract on Private, and by hardware enclave plus client-side encryption on TEE/E2EE. One disclosed exception: prompts may sit in server memory in plaintext for the duration of a single request (never written to disk) on the Anonymous and Private tiers, and generated videos are held on Venice's servers temporarily until downloaded, then deleted shortly after — the one standing exception to the no-storage policy, due to file size.
