CaveatsCORRECTED 2026-09-08 — THIS ROW WAS WRONG. It previously said the $0 tier covers “up to 20,000 requests/month”. Exa's pricing page is now credit-denominated, not request-capped. On 2026-09-08 it read “New accounts get $20 in free credits (around 2,800 searches) and the Free Tier adds $10 in credits every month.” Re-read 2026-10-06, the free Starter tier reads “$10 credits every month plus a $10 onboarding bonus. No payment method required”; the $20 signup credit and the 2,800-search figure are gone. The 20,000-request figure is gone from the page; a reader sizing against it would have over-estimated the allowance by an unknown multiple, since credits are consumed per search at a rate the page does not fix. The page now states no payment method is required. Prior caveats: third-party trackers report 1,000 credits/month — page vs trackers conflict; confirm the number at signup

Example

No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://exa.ai/pricing
