Ranked here: the general web search APIs. Dedicated news indexes are a different product and are listed on the full benchmark. \[03\] how cost per 1,000 correct answers is measured Cost per 1,000 correct answers is the endpoint's published pay-as-you-go price per 1,000 queries divided by its extracted-answer accuracy: what 1,000 correct answers cost. Autobound and Datahyena bill credits, so their figure is per 1,000 credits. Volume discounts and signup credits are excluded. Lower is better.
