When Exa might be a better fit

Exa excels at semantic search -- finding pages by meaning rather than keywords. If your agent needs to find "pages similar to this URL" or discover niche content that keyword search misses, Exa's embedding-based approach is a strong fit. Exa also offers a direct Answer endpoint that returns citations.

If your agents need structured Google SERP data (knowledge graphs, People Also Ask, related searches), YouTube transcripts, or Amazon product data, Scavio provides more platform coverage at a lower per-search cost.
