Claude Pro drops to ₹2,000/month (~$21) for Indian users vs. $17 in the US (includes local taxes); Max at ₹11,999 and Team at ₹2,399/seat; card and app-store billing only — UPI not yet supported.
Why it matters: India is the second-largest Claude market globally; pricing localization opens direct subscription paths for teams operating in local currency.
Computer can now build and publish sites to pplx.app or Vercel with granular access controls; users can swap the orchestrator model between turns in the same session, with Opus 4.8 now available in Fast mode.
Why it matters: Mid-task model routing and persistent publishing make Perplexity Computer viable for multi-session research and build workflows, not just one-off tasks.
Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers get continued access to Fable 5 at no extra cost through July 19 — a second extension — with usage credits at $10/$50 per million tokens kicking in after.
Why it matters: July 19 is the hard deadline before Fable 5 usage-credit billing activates at 4–5× Sonnet 5 rates; the window to evaluate Sonnet 5 as a cost-efficient substitute is now.
