Exa vs ChartMogul
The short version
- Only ChartMogul has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Exa pricing is metered per 1,000 requests and stacks by feature: $7 per 1,000 basic searches, $12 to $15 per 1,000 for deep search variants, and separate per-ACU and per-search charges for the Agent product, as of August 2026.; ChartMogul the free tier stops at $10K MRR, so it lapses precisely as a company starts to matter
