      "answer": "The 23 listed services have positive per-call prices for their task endpoints. Check the particular request and provider terms for failure, free-tier and no-match handling. A reference quote belongs to its documented input shape and paid unit."
    },

      "question": "How much do 100,000 web search calls cost?",
      "answer": "At the median selected endpoint, 100,000 calls total $1,000.00 at $0.01 per call. This assumes an unchanged request shape; follow-up products, retries and larger inputs can change the effective total."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does an HTTP 402 check prove paid delivery?",
      "answer": "It shows a payment requirement from the endpoint. It does not establish that a paid request delivered a correct answer. Monitoring, observed payments and provider output claims are separate evidence with different limits."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do search results include full page content?",
      "answer": "The endpoint contract determines that. A list of URLs, titles and snippets supports discovery; reading the page can require a separate retrieval call. Inspect the returned fields before relying on full text."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is an answer with citations verified research?",
      "answer": "Citations give a path to inspect the evidence. Read the linked material, check dates and separate the provider synthesis from source statements before attributing a factual claim."
    },
    {
      "question": "Are SEO rank checks general web search?",
      "answer": "A rank check can report query positions for a site, while web discovery returns candidate pages for a query. Compare their output and request scope separately even when a provider exposes both products."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I control market and language?",
      "answer": "Check the chosen endpoint schema for engine, country, location and language inputs. A provider description mentioning an engine does not establish that every search parameter is available."
    },
    {
      "question": "How should an agent budget a research task?",
      "answer": "Count discovery, page retrieval and follow-up synthesis separately. Set call and spending limits, deduplicate sources and stop when the required evidence has been found or the budget is exhausted."
