When I checked this a year or so ago, I might have gotten the impression that it was cheaper. Now, it costs the same as what Perplexity charges for search-grounded queries, which is the same as Google charges for Gemini queries with search.
So basically, one player sets a price, and everyone is anchored on that as the pricing for the entire category? I'm just genuinely interested in why every offering in this space is priced like this.
It seems a bit misaligned with how pure LLM queries are priced.
I have a product that would benefit from search grounding, but this pricing wouldn't work with my volume of queries.","time":1746570091,"type":"comment"}
