Plans
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $10 free credits on signup |
| Ridiculously Cheap | $29/month | $50/month in credits |
| Comfortably Pro | $89/month | $130/month in credits |
| Serious Business | $449/month | $750/month in credits |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom rate limits, access to all data sources, higher results per query |
The Free plan at $0 covers $10 free credits on signup, which is where an agent would start. The top plan (Enterprise) is quoted rather than listed, so anything at that volume goes through a person.
Can an agent buy this on its own?
A price is only half the question. The other half is whether software can get from landing on the site to making a paid call without a person, which is what the AgentReady measures under adopt.
For Valyu, it can create an account itself; no sales call stands in the way.
Against that, the signup flow assumes a human at a browser; credentials must be minted by hand in a dashboard. Each of those is a point where an unattended run stops and waits for a human.
That works out to 80/100 on adopt, against 62/100 overall.
