USD usage rates before free credits, checked September 13, 2026. Charges shown are published rates. Independent extraction, mapping, research and generated-answer products are separate from Web Search; LangSearch’s included context is not an AI-generated answer or a standalone extraction product. Tavily search content options and Brave Search LLM context do not incur the separate product fees shown here.
Answer: $5 / 1k requests. Monitors: $15 / 1k, with extra results and optional content billed separately. Fixed Agent effort: $0.012–$1 per run. Metered Agent usage includes $0.10 / ACU, $0.005 / search, $0.02 / email and $0.07 / phone; connected data providers are additional.
Pay as you go: $0.008 / credit. Monthly plans: $30 / 4,000 credits; $100 / 15,000; $220 / 38,000; $500 / 100,000. Research Mini uses 4–110 credits per request; Pro uses 15–250.
Spellcheck and Autosuggest are each $5 / 10,000 requests. Enterprise terms are custom. Answers token charges do not apply to ordinary Search requests.
For 1,000 Exa standard searches returning 20 results each: $7 base + $10 for the extra 10,000 results = $17, before credits. LangSearch does not charge per additional result within its supported result count. Returned content still counts toward the daily token allowance.
We’re funding LangSearch ourselves, starting with the connection we want our own AI systems to have.
Read why we’re building thisYes. Web Search and its supported features are free, including snippets, full webpage text, date and domain filtering, and up to 50 results per request.
A daily token allowance with all supported Web Search features included. Input and output token prices are currently $0. Your daily allowance resets at 00:00 UTC.
Yes. New accounts start at 5 RPS; existing accounts retain their configured request rate. Usage is measured in tokens, with limits per minute (TPM) and per day (TPD). All your Web Search API keys and MCP calls share the same allowance. Your dashboard shows tokens used, the percentage consumed, and the next daily reset.
Each successful search counts the query as input tokens and returned search content as output tokens. Titles, URLs and other metadata are excluded. The API reports input_tokens and output_tokens in usage. Longer returned content consumes more of your token allowance.
No. Set contents.text to true to receive text instead of snippet, with a default limit of 5000 characters per result. Use contents.text: { "max_characters": 3000 } to choose a different positive limit. Available source text may be shorter. There is no extra feature fee, but the returned text counts toward your token allowance.
Yes. Use freshness with a preset, a specific date (YYYY-MM-DD), or an inclusive date range (YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD). Use includeDomains and excludeDomains to focus on the sources you need.
Yes. Call the Web Search API from your agent’s tools and pass the returned context and source URLs to your model. You can also connect through MCP or add the LangSearch Skill to your agent workflow.
We use published USD usage rates, dated September 13, 2026. Free credits and plan discounts can reduce other providers’ bills. Separate research, extraction and answer products are identified and are not presented as equivalent LangSearch features.
