Compare API pricing and marketplaces.
Three pages that set vendors side by side on the numbers they publish: what web search APIs charge per 1,000 requests, what LLM APIs charge per million tokens, and how the API marketplaces an AI agent can call differ. Every figure was read from the vendor’s own page on the date each page states, and links to it. upAPI is a party on each page, so each one also says where upAPI is behind.
