What is the difference between Search and Research Agent Services?
The Research Agent is a model endpoint designed for conversational intelligence. It supports multi-turn dialogue, allowing users to ask follow-up questions and refine their queries. Built on real-time retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), it combines an LLM framework with search capabilities across proprietary, premium, and web content sources. The result is a synthesized, context-aware response that reflects reasoning, summarization, and insight generation, ideal for business/financial analysis and complex decision support. In contrast, the Search Service is a retrieval-only API. It indexes structured and unstructured data to return the most relevant documents or snippets, without interpretation or synthesis. It’s optimized for low latency and high precision, making it ideal for tasks such as grounding LLMs, populating context windows, powering search tools, or feeding downstream agents with raw but relevant content.- Research Agent = LLM + RAG → contextual, reasoned answers.
- Search = fast, relevant retrieval → raw source material.
Search Service Pricing
This simple, pay-per-query model allows predictable and scalable usage across applications. Query Units- $0.015 per query unit
- Each query unit includes up to 10 search results (Chunks of text)
- No additional charges for retrieval of Knowledge Graph data
Research Agent Service Pricing
A research request consumes input, and output tokens on the different research steps. The thinking tokens are included as output tokens.-
Input Tokens
- This covers the cost of processing the user’s prompt, along with any context included in the request.
- Tokens roughly equate to chunks of text (1,000 tokens ≈ 750 words).
-
Output Tokens
- This reflects the cost of generating the response from the model and the thinking tokens to plan the next step.
- The more detailed the answer, the more output tokens are consumed.
Content Processing & Indexing
This pricing covers the annual cost of uploading, processing, and indexing your internal content, such as research reports, manuals, and files so it becomes searchable and usable ONLY by you on Bigdata and through our Search or Research (Agent) services.-
TXT Uploads & Storage
- $12.00 per 1,000 pages/year
- One TXT page = 3,000 characters of plain text
- Suitable for structured or text-only documents
-
PDF Uploads & Storage
- $42.00 per 1,000 pages/year
- One PDF page = one actual page, regardless of content density
- Higher cost reflects advanced parsing: we extract and interpret images, charts, graphs, and tables, making their insights searchable and indexable
