Did you guys change the pricing of Exa?

When I checked this a year or so ago, I might have gotten the impression that it was cheaper. Now, it costs the same as what Perplexity charges for search-grounded queries, which is the same as Google charges for Gemini queries with search.

So basically, one player sets a price, and everyone is anchored on that as the pricing for the entire category? I'm just genuinely interested in why every offering in this space is priced like this.

It seems a bit misaligned with how pure LLM queries are priced.

I have a product that would benefit from search grounding, but this pricing wouldn't work with my volume of queries.

We charge $5 per 1000 requests with our search and answer endpoints.

Perplexity charges the same on their lowest tier model, and three times as much for their more expensive models.

Gemini charges $35 per 1000 requests.
