Only pay for what you use.

Web (paid APIs)

• web_searchper call
  Free: $0.040Self Serve: $0.030Scale: $0.020

  Standard web search via Exa with relevance-ranked results. It's the default tier and handles most agent lookups.

• web_search_deepper call
  Free: $0.075Self Serve: $0.05625Scale: $0.0375

  Exa agentic deep search. It runs an iterative multi-step crawl for harder research questions a single lookup can't answer.

• web_search_deep_reasoningper call
  Free: $0.100Self Serve: $0.075Scale: $0.050

  Exa deep search plus a reasoning pass that synthesizes across sources. Use this most thorough tier for complex research.

• web_scrapeper page
  Free: $0.010Self Serve: $0.0075Scale: $0.005

  Firecrawl-backed fetch that returns clean markdown for a single page.

Indexing

• indexing_graphindexper 1k tokens
  Free: $0.010Self Serve: $0.0075Scale: $0.005

  GraphIndex builds an entity-relation graph over the corpus to power multi-hop queries.

• indexing_doc2jsonper 1k tokens
  Free: $0.008Self Serve: $0.006Scale: $0.004

  Doc2JSON sliding-window extraction that turns long documents into structured records aligned to your schema.

• indexing_pageindexper 1k tokens
  Free: $0.006Self Serve: $0.0045Scale: $0.003

  PageIndex builds a hierarchical tree over the document, which works best for reasoning over long structured docs.

• metadata_enrichmentper 1k tokens
  Free: $0.004Self Serve: $0.003Scale: $0.002

  Adds titles, summaries, and tags at indexing time so retrieval can filter and rerank on richer metadata.

• indexing_chunkembedper 1k tokens
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  ChunkEmbed does classic chunking plus embedding into pgvector. The default and cheapest strategy.

Extraction

• ocr_pagesper page
  Free: $0.006Self Serve: $0.0045Scale: $0.003

  VLM-based page extraction (LightOnOCR-2, Mistral, or PaddleOCR). We run it by default on every ingested document, so a single file with mixed scanned and text-extractable pages is handled correctly. If you know the source is all native text, opt into faster text-only parsers per ingestion run: OpenDataLoader, PyMuPDF (fitz), or pdfplumber.

Retrieval

• tree_searchper call
  Free: $0.010Self Serve: $0.0075Scale: $0.005

  PageIndex tree-walk retrieval, which navigates the document hierarchy instead of flat top-k chunks.

• reranker_callper call
  Free: $0.010Self Serve: $0.0075Scale: $0.005

  Cross-encoder rerank via Cohere, Voyage, Jina, or ZeroEntropy, applied after retrieval to sharpen the top results.

• hybrid_searchper call
  Free: $0.004Self Serve: $0.003Scale: $0.002

  Vector + BM25 with reciprocal-rank fusion. This is our default retrieval mode.

• query_enrichmentper call
  Free: $0.004Self Serve: $0.003Scale: $0.002

  Query rewriting or HyDE, which expands the user's question before search to improve recall.

• bm25_searchper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  BM25 / full-text search over your tables. Keyword-precise, and it needs no embeddings.

• vector_searchper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  Plain cosine search over pgvector embeddings. It's the fastest path when you already know the question shape.

Agents & orchestrations

• orchestration_runper run
  Free: $0.004Self Serve: $0.003Scale: $0.002

  Multi-agent orchestration base fee, covering the supervisor loop that routes between agents.

• agent_runper run
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  Base fee for a single ReAct agent invocation, before per-tool charges.

• agent_tool_callper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  One tool invocation from an agent, whether a custom HTTP tool, an MCP server, or a generic builtin.

• agent_tool_code_executeper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  Sandboxed code execution called from an agent. The runtime is isolated and there's no infra to manage.

Workflows

• workflow_runper run
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  Base fee per run of the visual / API workflow engine built into Powabase.

• workflow_block_codeper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  A code block inside a workflow that runs your snippet in the sandboxed code executor.

• workflow_block_external_apiper call
  Free: $0.002Self Serve: $0.0015Scale: $0.001

  External HTTP block in a workflow, for outbound calls to third-party APIs.
