What happened

Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Apr 6, 2026 captures of Exa's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Custom index added as a new feature in the Enterprise plan, listed under Powerful search alongside Tailored moderation. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Search at $7 per 1k requests, up to 10 results + $1 per 1k page AI summaries, Agent at $0.01 per search tool call + $0.1 per request (Medium effort), Contents at $1 per 1k pages, per content type + $1 per 1k page AI summaries, Deep Search at $12 per 1k requests, up to 10 results + $1 per 1k requests, additional result above 10 and Deep-Reasoning Search at $1 per 1k page AI summaries + $1 per 1k requests, additional result above 10.

It lands 5 days after Exa's previous change, "Exa Raises Search API Pricing 40% and Drops Pay-As-You-Go Plan" (Apr 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Exa Clarifies Contents API Pricing, Adds Search Text Highlights" (Mar 17, 2026), "Exa Restructures Search Pricing With Tiered Per-Result Model" (Mar 10, 2026) and "Exa expands free tier to 1,000 monthly requests, revamps pricing" (Mar 3, 2026). Exa has been tracked since 2024-11-17.

In the same window Google and You.com also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
