Starter: the cheapest way to buy this volume, not just the first plan big enough.
Bars share one linear scale across the 3 counted stages, so a multiplier shows as length. Units differ by stage and are labelled. Cash is not on that scale.

What makes it cost more
One page is not always one billed unit. These are Desearch's published charges for each kind of work.

What Desearch does not publish
- The public pages do not map bundled request credits to the dollar-denominated per-product rates. Sources: https://www.desearch.ai/pricing and https://www.desearch.ai/credit-plans
- Failure billing and unused-credit rollover are not stated on the reviewed pages.
- A conversion table between bundled request credits and the dollar-denominated output meters on the self-serve API page. Sources reviewed: Desearch API pricing and Desearch credit plans, checked Jul 27, 2026.
- Whether failed API calls consume self-serve spend or bundled request credits. Sources reviewed: Desearch API pricing and Desearch credit plans, checked Jul 27, 2026.
- Whether unused production-plan credits roll into a later billing period (Desearch credit plans, Jul 27, 2026).
- A general card requirement or expiry rule for the signup credit. The reward page states the signup grant but not those terms (Desearch credit page, Jul 27, 2026).
What Desearch is
Desearch is an API family for agent applications that covers AI search, X search, web search, page crawling, and forecasting. The products return different objects: cited AI-search items, X posts, structured web searches, crawled pages, or one forecast response. A buyer is therefore choosing several context sources behind one account, not one generic search endpoint. Sources: Desearch and Desearch API pricing, checked Jul 27, 2026.
Tavily, Exa, and SerpApi are the nearest named competitors. Tavily presents search, extraction, crawling, and research for agent web access; Exa offers search, page contents, crawling, and deeper research products; SerpApi focuses on structured results from Google and other search engines. Desearch is easier to tell apart by its public X-search and forecasting meters alongside web search and crawl. Sources: Desearch API pricing, Tavily, Exa, and SerpApi, checked Jul 27, 2026.
How billing works
Self-serve usage is priced by each product’s output unit rather than by one universal request. AI Search is metered by returned items, X Search by returned posts, Web Search by searches, Web Crawl by pages, and Forecasting by request. Separate production plans bundle “request credits” across the API family and add plan-specific concurrency. The buying mistake to avoid is assuming one bundled request credit maps directly to one self-serve search, page, post, item, or forecast. The public pages show both systems but do not publish that conversion. Sources: Desearch API pricing and Desearch credit plans, checked Jul 27, 2026.
Who it suits
Desearch suits agent teams that deliberately combine web, crawl, social, and forecasting inputs and can measure each output type before selecting a production credit plan. It is less suitable for a buyer who needs one stable “request” definition across every product or must reconcile a procurement quote to public unit rates without a sales call. The reason is the unresolved mapping between output-priced self-serve APIs and bundled request credits, not a judgment about the returned data.
