The facts
At the end
Auto-bills $20/mo after 12 months
When the free period ends, it renews at $20/month unless you cancel first.
Perplexity bills, not Airtel: the credit card is saved on the Perplexity account at redemption. Accounts that never added a card were shown as 'Paused' and downgraded to the free plan. Claims made up to Jan 16 2026 run to about Jan 2027, so renewals are happening now.
