Premium Tools
This is a quick overview of premium tools, what they are, how they are priced, what limits they have and such.
What are premium tools?
Premium tools are essential tool calls that cost us more to run, normally paying for more premium services or longer running tasks.
Think something like E2B or Perplexity, these are not really comparable to a GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL call.
These types of tools are separated out so we can price both of them competitively.
Premium tools include:
- Search APIs (Google, Bing, Perplexity, etc.)
- Code execution environments (E2B)
- Web scraping & data extraction
- AI/ML model inference
- Document processing & OCR
- Advanced data transformations
- Compute-intensive operations
How are premium tools priced?
As a rough guide, they are priced at 3x the cost of a standard tool call — the specifics depends on your plan and the tool.
| Plan | Included Standard Tool Calls | Included Premium Tool Calls | Usage Based Standard Tool Calls | Usage Based Premium Tool Calls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Totally Free | 20k | 1k | – | – |
| Ridiculously Cheap | 200k | 5k | $0.299/1k | $0.897/1k |
| Serious Business | 2M | 50k | $0.249/1k | $0.747/1k |
| Enterprise | Flexible | Flexible | Flexible | Flexible |
