damn, good luck guys
gigatexal•1d ago
well im sold

I just did two searches that I did the last few days with google and frustratingly got old irrelevant results

exa.ai was able to surface relevant things -- the exact stuff I needed and recent, up-to-date stuff, too.

jldadriano•1d ago
out of curiosity, what did you search for?
gigatexal•1d ago
terraform sns to aws firehose example -- this one is not fair kinda -- only recently were you able to do this still the first result was a blog that had exactly what I needed

and

python decorator -- this one is timeless but I wanted to see new stuff

gigatexal•1d ago
the only thing is the pricing is confusing to me and I think I'm not dumb

how am I to understand the search, context, answer, and research pricing? do I just look at search pricing if that's all I plan to do, for now?

jldadriano•1d ago
https://exa.ai/pricing

curious what you believe to be confusing, we'd love to make it clearer! perhaps you landed on a different page somehow?

abxyz•1d ago
I find it confusing too. There are a bunch of different things that influence pricing (what's "auto" vs. "fast"?) and also "results"? Does that mean if I ask for 25 results, I pay $5 per 1000 requests, and if I ask for 26 results, I pay $25 per 1000 requests? or is that based on how many results Exa returns (which depends on how much data Exa has)? I'm sure if I understood the product (as your customers do) it would make sense, but as an outsider, it's not clear to me how much I would pay for the example searches (e.g: "space companies based in the US") or the demos.

Also minor notes:

* Research link in the footer is a 404 * Changelog link in the footer is a link to the blog

edit: after reading the documentation, there are 4 search types, "auto" and "fast" are 2 options that have been combined into a single column on the pricing table. The "latency" at the bottom is a description of the "fast" and "auto" options. I think I understand it now.

gigatexal•1d ago
this
jldadriano•1d ago
Yeah this has evolved to be confusing. We are considering what to do about it
jldadriano•1d ago
also thanks for the notes, we're fixing
