Every task your agent runs is metered in credits — the same credits across all plans and top-up packages. This page shows what typical actions cost, how far apart the sources sit — the cheapest search here is a two-hundredth of the deepest advertising one — and what makes a request cost more than another.
Retrieving the source itself — loading pages, expanding discussion threads, pulling transcripts. Richer sources take more retrieval work: a discussion thread with hundreds of replies loads many pages, a simple article loads one. Depth counts too: on sources where results are collected one at a time, asking for thirty of them is thirty times the work of asking for one.
Every source is cleaned, indexed line by line, and scored for relevance to your query, so your agent can cite exact passages instead of re-reading everything. Media analysis (video transcription, image description) runs only where it applies.
You pay for work actually done — no seats, no minimums. Re-reading data you already collected is free, asking again for something you asked a moment ago costs nothing, and a link that cannot be opened is not charged for at all.
One search query, with the results collected and indexed so your agent can cite them. Most sources here bill by the query rather than by the size of the answer: a news search or a patent search returns a hundred results for what ten cost. The exceptions are the sources that hand results out a page at a time — job openings, DuckDuckGo results, academic papers and product listings — where each further page is a further charge. The two rows at the foot of the table are the same queries as their plain rows above, asked several pages deep.
| Action | What's included | Credits | ≈ per request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | One product search in the United States store: the listings, their prices, ratings and badges — any other country’s store is a separate catalogue and costs the same as a web search, about five times the US one. The cheapest search on this page | ~2 | €0.0005 |
| Trustpilot | One company-reviews query: the matching companies, their scores and how many people rated them | ~8 | €0.0016 |
| One web search query, results scored for relevance | ~12 | €0.0023 | |
| DuckDuckGo | One query against a second, independent web index — worth running alongside the first rather than instead of it, since about three quarters of what it returns is missing from the other | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| Google News | One news query: headlines, publishers, publication times and links to the publishers’ own pages | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| Google Scholar | One academic query: papers, preprints and theses with their citation counts | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| Google Patents | One patent query: documents with holder, inventor, filing dates and legal status per office | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| Google Jobs | One job query: openings with employer, location and the pay where it is stated — no coverage anywhere in the European Economic Area | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| Walmart | One product search in the United States Walmart store, with prices, ratings and who is selling | ~12 | €0.0023 |
| App stores | One query against the Google Play or App Store catalogue | ~13 | €0.0025 |
| YouTube | One video search query | ~13 | €0.0026 |

| TikTok | One short-video search query | ~20 | €0.0040 |
| Threads | One social search query | ~20 | €0.0040 |
| One community search query | ~30–40 | €0.0070 | |
| DuckDuckGo — forty-five results | The same web query asked forty-five results deep. The first ten arrive together and the rest come in batches, each one charged, so on this source depth is most of the price | ~46 | €0.0092 |
| Google Jobs — forty listings | The same job query asked forty openings deep. Listings arrive eight to ten at a time and cannot be requested in bulk, which makes this the priciest single search on the page | ~58 | €0.0115 |
Fetching a URL: retrieval plus cleanup, indexing and relevance. What a page costs follows its size — the two articles measured for this page, both buying guides, came out at 6 and 47 credits.

|---|---|---|---|

What advertisers are running, and what a single ad says. This is where depth shows up in the bill: ad wording is collected ad by ad, so the number of ads you ask for is most of the price. Asking a Google advertiser search for thirty ads instead of one turned a 39-credit request into a 490-credit one. Nothing else on this page moves that far on a single setting, so it is worth asking for the number of ads the question actually needs.
| Action | What's included | Credits | ≈ per request |
|---|---|---|---|
| An advertiser’s ads | Facebook, TikTok or LinkedIn: the ads that advertiser is running now, with their wording | ~20–40 | €0.0060 |
| Ads on Google — one ad | The wording of a single ad, with the countries it runs in | ~39 | €0.0077 |
| Ads on Google — thirty ads | The same request asked thirty ads deep — wording is collected ad by ad, so this is the one place on the page where depth multiplies the bill outright | ~490 | €0.0978 |
| One ad, read in full | Every version of an ad, where it runs and how long it has been running | ~20 | €0.0039 |
| One ad, pictures described | The same ad plus a written description of each image in it — six pictures added about four credits | ~23 | €0.0047 |
One question about keywords, rankings, links or domains, answered from a search-data index. Prices differ by question, not by how much you ask for: a keyword lookup is cheap whether it returns 10 rows or 100, while a full domain profile is the priciest single question on this page.
| Action | What's included | Credits | ≈ per request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword demand | Search volumes, trend, difficulty, cost per click and intent for a set of phrases | ~140 | €0.0280 |
| Rankings | What a site ranks for, its best-performing pages, or who competes with it | ~150 | €0.0300 |
| Backlinks | Who links to a site, with anchor text, strength, spam score and first-seen dates | ~250 | €0.0500 |
| Domain profile | Registration and expiry, technology stack, contacts and the size of a site’s search presence | ~1,275 | €0.2550 |

Timed on the same requests as the tables above. A web search comes back in a second or two. Company-review, app-store and community searches take anywhere from two to eighteen seconds, and advertising searches four to fifteen. Reading a page takes four to twenty seconds depending on how much is on it; reading a single ad about five, or twenty if you also ask for its pictures to be described — four times the wait for about a fifth more credits. Asking again for something you asked a moment ago returns instantly, and so does a link that cannot be opened. The product, news, patent, academic, job and DuckDuckGo searches answer in two to eight seconds at a single page; asked several pages deep they run from four seconds to about twenty, and the wait grows with the pages, not with the price.
Because they are different amounts of work, and the spread is wide. A single-store product search and a thirty-ad advertising search, both single requests, are two hundred times apart. A discussion thread with hundreds of replies is many pages; a short article is one. Billing follows the actual work, so simple things stay cheap.
It depends on the source, and the gap is worth knowing before you ask. A Google web search, a news search and a patent search all bill by the query: a hundred results cost what ten cost. Job openings, DuckDuckGo results, academic papers and product listings arrive a page at a time, so depth multiplies — the same job query went from about 12 credits at ten listings to about 58 at forty, and the same DuckDuckGo query from about 12 to about 46 at forty-five. Advertising searches bill by the ad, so one request went from 39 credits at one ad to 490 at thirty. Ask for the depth the question needs and nothing beyond it.
A search that finds nothing is still a search — the one measured here cost about 20 credits the first time and nothing when it was asked again. A link that cannot be opened costs nothing at all: it comes back in under a second and is not billed.
Data you've collected is stored and re-readable for free, and asking for something you asked for a short while ago costs nothing. The repeat measured for this page came back in milliseconds and at zero credits.
Every number on this page was measured by running the requests: eighteen for the first pass and twenty more for the sources added since, across two dozen sources, including the 490-credit one. The lot came to about 1,100 credits — around €0.22 at the Medium rate.
Yes — a credit buys the same work whether it came from a monthly plan or a top-up package. Only the price per credit differs: larger packages and plans are cheaper per credit.
