Who should stay with Ceramic.ai

Stay when your agent sends many short keyword queries in English: at $0.25 per 1,000 on pay as you go, and $0.20 on Pro past 396,000 a month, few web search APIs cost less for a plain search. Stay too if you buy through Cloudflare’s AI Gateway, where Ceramic is the default Web Search API provider at the same list price, or if your agents pay per request over x402 without an account.

What a switch must replace

Look elsewhere when your users ask full questions or need pages in other languages: Ceramic is a keyword (lexical) engine and covers English pages only for now. A semantic or answer-style API costs more per search, so price the volume you really run. Ceramic also does not say whether a failed or empty search is billed outside its payment gateway, so an alternative that states it can be easier to budget.
