DeepAR vs Exa Free Tier Comparison

Verdict

Exa offers a free tier ("Free"). We are not publishing a free-tier verdict for DeepAR. We could not read the page we cite for DeepAR when we last looked, on 2026-10-26. We are not comparing the two pricing histories.

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.

Web search API for AI agents with Search, Contents, Answer, Monitors and Agent endpoints. The free tier gives $10 in credits each month, up to 2,500 Lite searches, resetting on the first of the month without rollover, plus a one-time $10 onboarding bonus; no credit card or other payment method required. Only a user's first team gets the free credits. Free teams get 10 QPS on search. Search costs $4 per 1,000 requests with up to 10 results for Lite, $7 for Auto, and $12 for Deep.
