Frequently asked

How does the free tier work?

Free gives you 750 credits every 30 days, forever, with no credit card. A lite search costs 1 credit on Free, so that is 750 searches, or any mix of search, content, extract, answer and deep search. Upgrade anytime.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Changes take effect immediately, and we prorate billing for the remainder of your billing cycle.

Do credit packs expire?

Pack credits expire 6 months after purchase. Subscription credits reset each billing cycle and are used first, then pack credits.

What counts as a search?

Each request draws credits by endpoint. On paid plans a lite search is $0.10 per 1,000 on Essential and less on bigger plans; fast is 0.5 credit, search + content 1.5, answer and extract 1, deep search 5. Free pays full price. Retries within a single request are not charged again.

Do you offer discounts for high volume?

Startup includes free, unlimited batch search. Above that, Enterprise plans include custom pricing for high-volume workloads. Contact our sales team for a tailored quote.
