At the end

Auto-bills ¥2,950/mo after 6 months

When the free period ends, it renews at ¥2,950/month unless you cancel first.

Billed by SoftBank on the phone bill from month 7 (¥2,950/month, no pro-rating). Cancelling during the free months forfeits the rest of the free period, but Pro stays on until the end of the current monthly contract period, so cancel during month 6. Leaving for another carrier (MNP) ends the contract and the account drops to free.

Cancel guide: when you'll be charged, and the steps for each platform

How to cancel

SoftBank (My SoftBank)

  1. Open My SoftBank (the 手続きをする button on SoftBank's Perplexity page links there) and cancel Perplexity Pro for SoftBank, or ask at a SoftBank shop.

Y!mobile (My Y!mobile)

  1. Cancel Perplexity Pro for SoftBank in My Y!mobile, or at a Y!mobile or SoftBank shop.

LINEMO (My Menu)

  1. Cancel Perplexity Pro for SoftBank in My Menu.

Deleting your Perplexity account does not cancel it, and neither does cancelling in Perplexity's own settings: billing runs through your carrier. Cancelling during the free months forfeits the remaining free time.

No pro-rating: "月の途中で解約その他理由により終了する場合…料金の日割り計算は行いません" [If it ends mid-month by cancellation or otherwise, fees are not pro-rated]; "解約した場合、契約期間の終了までPerplexity Proをご利用いただけます" [after cancelling you keep Pro until the contract period ends] (https://www.softbank.jp/mobile/service/perplexity-ai/)
