Exa names Starter/Developer/Enterprise account tiers with explicit QPS limits
Exa's pricing page now names Starter/Developer/Enterprise tiers, disclosing Search QPS and Agent-concurrency caps plus a new Exa Connect pricing section.
A single Free-Tier card plus a separate Enterprise features block; no Search QPS or Agent-concurrency limits were disclosed on the pricing page; Answer listed $1/1k surcharges for extra results and AI page summaries.
Three named tiers — Starter (Free), Developer (Pay as you go), Enterprise (Custom) — each disclosing Search QPS/Agent-concurrency caps (5/3, 10/25, custom) and gated compliance features (Developer: SOC 2 Type II; Enterprise: SOC 2 + HIPAA, custom MSA/DPA, SSO, dedicated Slack support); a dedicated Exa Connect pricing section lists self-serve vs. available-on-request data providers; Answer's extra-result and AI-summary surcharges now show as not billed.

- These prices come from our capture alone — they were not confirmed against an independent second source.
- 2 pages had no counterpart in the earlier capture and are not shown.
Both images are our own captures, taken on the dates shown. The pixels are unmodified — nothing is retouched, and where a region is highlighted the marker is drawn over the image, not into it. Open either capture to see it at full resolution.
Exa’s pricing page (exa.ai/pricing) restructured its top-of-page layout from a single Free-Tier card plus a separate Enterprise block into a three-column comparison of named account tiers: Starter (Free — $20 signup credit + $10/month, no card required), Developer (Pay as you go), and Enterprise (Custom). Each tier now discloses concrete rate limits for the first time — Starter is capped at 5 Search QPS / 3 Agent concurrency, Developer at 10 Search QPS / 25 Agent concurrency (plus SOC 2 Type II), and Enterprise gets custom QPS/concurrency alongside SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA, a custom MSA/DPA, SSO for the dashboard, and a dedicated Slack support channel.
The page also added a standalone “Exa Connect pricing” section (previously just a launch banner) listing self-serve third-party data providers (Jinko, Financial Datasets, Affiliate.com, Particle, Fiber.ai, Baselayer, Similarweb) versus providers available on request (ZoomInfo, Crunchbase, Harmonic, DefinitiveHealthcare). Separately, the per-endpoint pricing table now shows the Answer endpoint’s additional-result and AI-page-summary surcharges as not billed, versus $1 per 1k on the prior capture. Core per-request rates (Search $7/1k, Deep Search $12-15/1k, Contents $1/1k pages, Monitors $15/1k, Answer $5/1k, Agent $0.012-$1.00/run) were unchanged. The exact live date of the restructure is unconfirmed — the page was last observed in its prior form on 2026-07-29 and first observed in this form on 2026-08-26.
The single Free-Tier card plus a separate Enterprise block was replaced with a three-column comparison of named account tiers — STARTER (Free), DEVELOPER (Pay as you go), and ENTERPRISE (Custom) — each now disclosing Search QPS and Agent-concurrency caps (Starter 5 QPS/3 concurrency, Developer 10 QPS/25 concurrency, Enterprise custom) and gated features (Developer adds SOC 2 Type II; Enterprise adds SOC 2 + HIPAA, custom MSA/DPA, SSO for the dashboard, and a dedicated Slack support channel). A dedicated 'Exa Connect pricing' section also went live, listing self-serve (Jinko, Financial Datasets, Affiliate.com, Particle, Fiber.ai, Baselayer, Similarweb) versus available-on-request (ZoomInfo, Crunchbase, Harmonic, DefinitiveHealthcare) data providers. On the endpoint-pricing table, the Answer endpoint's per-additional-result and AI-page-summary surcharges dropped from $1/1k to not billed ('-'). Core per-request rates (Search $7, Deep Search $12-15, Contents $1, Monitors $15, Answer $5, Agent $0.012-$1.00) were unchanged. Exact live date unconfirmed — last seen unchanged 2026-07-29, first observed in this form 2026-08-26.
