Perplexity Launches Computer Analytics to Track Credit Spend Across AI Models.

Perplexity has launched Computer Analytics, a new feature that gives users detailed visibility into how they're consuming AI credits across different models. The tool is now available in the Analytics section of Account Settings for both consumer and enterprise customers.

The update addresses a growing need as Perplexity has expanded its model offerings in recent months. Users can now run Computer queries through multiple AI models, including previously added options like Grok 4.5 and various Claude variants. Without granular tracking, customers had limited insight into which models were driving their credit consumption.

Computer Analytics shows credit spend segmented by individual AI models, letting users see patterns in their usage. For enterprise teams running high-volume workloads, this visibility could inform decisions about which models to prioritize based on cost efficiency and performance trade-offs.

The feature comes as Perplexity has made several changes to its Computer orchestrator lineup. After restoring Claude Fable 5 and adding other models, users now have multiple options that vary in capability and credit cost. Analytics gives them the data to optimize their selection.

For small business owners and independent builders who rely on Perplexity for research and content workflows, the tracking helps manage subscription value. Pro users paying for enhanced access can now verify they're getting the most from their credits, while enterprise accounts can allocate usage across teams more effectively.

The analytics rollout follows Perplexity's broader push into specialized products. The company recently launched Computer for Counsel, integrating legal databases and document systems for law firms. It also introduced Brain memory, a system for retaining context across tasks.

As AI platforms add more models and pricing tiers, usage transparency becomes critical. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude offer similar token or credit systems, but detailed consumption breakdowns remain inconsistent across providers. Perplexity's analytics dashboard puts it ahead on this front, at least for now.

The feature is live today. Users can access it by navigating to Account Settings and selecting Analytics. No additional setup is required; the dashboard populates automatically based on existing usage data.
