Exa

Search and research Freemium Checked: October 2026

Search built for AI agents that finds results by meaning, used through an API with free monthly credits.

What it is

Exa is a search API for agents and apps. It searches by meaning, not by keywords ("companies similar to this one," "examples of landing pages"). The lineup includes Search, an Agent API for research tasks, Websets (collections of data that match criteria you set) and an MCP server for connecting to AI clients. The free plan includes $10 in credits a month; after that you pay for what you use. The main audience is developers.
