What happened

Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of Exa's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Starter and Developer plan rate limits raised: Starter QPS 5→10 and Agent concurrency 3→50; Developer QPS 10→25 (now "Up to") and Agent concurrency 25→50; Enterprise plan adds SCIM to the SSO entitlement ("SSO and SCIM for Exa Dashboard") and a new "Organization unified billing" bullet. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit raised, feature added). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 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 + $0.10 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 Monitors at $1 per 1k requests, additional result above 10 + $1 per 1k page AI summaries.

It lands 35 days after Exa's previous change, "Exa: Answer endpoint overage + AI-summary fees removed" (Aug 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Exa: Free tier switched to credit-based model ($20 signup + $10/mo)" (Jul 20, 2026), "Exa halves Agent per-run price ceiling to $1.00, matching X-high tier" (Jul 5, 2026) and "Exa launches Connect GA, taps leading external data providers" (Jun 30, 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.
