Before you spend on Exa data

Is Exa already pay as you go?

Yes. Exa offers direct usage billing and free account credits. Its published offer includes $10 monthly free credit plus onboarding credit. The calculator compares gross usage before account-specific credits. Read the official guide.

Is Glasser cheaper than direct Exa?

Not for every task. The listed base search, text-content and answer rates match direct usage rates; deep search through Glasser is higher. Glasser adds a shared connection and balance across sources, while direct free credits can make Exa cheaper.

What makes a search bill larger?

Result counts above the included allowance and added content types increase cost. This calculator fixes search to 10 results and text-only contents. Deep reasoning is a separate product and is not priced as ordinary deep search. Read the official guide.

What does the Glasser estimate include?

The selected data requests or returned records at the listed rate. Pagination, retries and extra steps can add usage. Adding balance, agent or model charges and taxes are separate. No monthly Glasser subscription is required.

How do I run this with my agent?

Copy the task prompt to your agent, set up the Glasser skill and supply the requested inputs. Use one Glasser connection to combine data sources; inspect the selected endpoint for its input limits and available fields.
