Free to read and cite. Pay only for scale.
The discovery layer, our crawlable pages, JSON-LD, and llms.txt, is always free for humans and agents alike. You pay only for programmatic volume, freshness, history, an SLA, and a commercial licence, never for the score.
What you'd save
Move the sliders to your own workload. The comparison is against doing the same research the hard way, an agent scraping and summarising raw web pages, priced at today's mid-range token costs.
1,500 comparisons · 3,500 lookups
Estimate only. Assumes ~$2.50 of tokens per DIY comparison and ~$0.30 per lookup, and picks the cheapest Vioscale plan for your volume. Your numbers will vary with model and prompt.
How credits work
One standard call is one credit, whether it is a lookup, a search, or a full comparison. Only the premium surfaces cost more: historical time-series and bulk export. Value is decoupled from response length, so you are never billed for bloat and never rewarded for padding.
| Operation | What it covers | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Standard call | Any lookup, search, or comparison | 1 |
| Historical | Signal-history time-series query | 5 |
| Bulk | Full-corpus export and embeddings, by payload size | 1 / KB |
On Pro a call works out to about $0.004. The same research done the hard way, an agent scraping and summarising raw web pages, costs roughly $1.50 to $4 in tokens for one comparison, and still comes back incomplete. That is a 300x to 1000x saving on the queries that matter, before the engineering time you no longer spend maintaining scrapers.
