What it does

A search API aimed at agents, with a free monthly credit. The official page is the source for this profile. This is not a hands-on review.

Who should care

Developers who want a small free search allowance before a paid plan. That is the audience, not a claim that every reader should adopt this vendor.

Our take: Watch

The free plan is clear. The paid credit math depends on the request type, which lives in the docs. This is an editorial recommendation for the stated use case, not an investment rating or a benchmark result.

Pricing without the confetti

Researcher is free with 1,000 API credits a month and no card. Paid use is pay as you go. A Project plan is also listed. Source: public page, checked November 7, 2026. Where a license applies instead of a subscription, the license is the price.

Before you commit

Write down the job, what data enters it, who approves the output, and the maximum bill or license constraint you can live with. If the exit route is unclear, keep the trial small. These are recommended checks, not claims of completed testing.
