Thirteen engines, one bill.

Search the web

General, news, academic, patents, places, images, people — routed to the first available engine for that mode, or the one you name.

Extract pages

Readers, headless browsers, and a stealth Chrome-fingerprint fetcher for pages that fight back. One request, clean text out.

Grounded answers

Deep research and answer engines with sources attached — billed by what the upstream actually reports, not worst-case estimates.

Metering you can audit.

Every response tells you what it cost and what remains. Token-billed engines are charged from the usage the upstream reports — the ledger is append-only, every charge carries its request id, and failed calls are never billed.
