Everyone Can Now Use Opera's AI Web Browser, But It'll Cost You

The year of AI browsers is ending with Opera opening up its own version to everyone.

First unveiled in May, Opera Neon has been available for testing via a waiting list since early October. Now, after a few months in beta, Opera is opening Neon subscriptions today.

Unlike alternatives, such as ChatGPT’s Atlas and Perplexity’s Comet, Neon is subscription-based. For $19.90 a month, you get access to top-end models to use in the browser, including Gemini 3 Pro, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana Pro from Google, and GPT 5.1 from OpenAI.

As with many AI browsers, new tabs open with a chatbot, allowing you to immediately write a prompt rather than entering a query into a traditional search engine.

You can also build templates for regular tasks you complete in your browser. These are called Cards, and Opera’s examples include research for a monthly meeting, dinner planning for your week, or a daily report on your business’s competitors.

You also get access to the brand’s agent tools, which are called Neon Chat, Do, and Make. These are designed to complete tasks autonomously, with Opera suggesting trialing them to generate videos, build websites, and edit documents.

Your subscription also gives you access to Opera’s Discord community to talk about how to better use Neon.

“Opera Neon is a product for people who like to be the first to the newest AI tech,” says Krystian Kolondra, Opera’s EVP of browser tech. “It’s a rapidly evolving project with significant updates released every week. We’ve been shaping it with our Founders community for a while and are now excited to share the early access to it with a larger audience.”

Opera Neon works on both Mac and Windows, but there’s no clear plan for a mobile release. You can download the browser and sign up for a subscription on operaneon.com/
