No rate limit is published, the MCP server lists 82 tools, and the pricing page limits API access to the $200 a month Pro plan and above.\n\n**SearchAPI.io.** 99.9% SLA on every plan and no incidents on the status page since August. MCP exposes over 100 tools with no toolsets.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Grep AI\n\n1. Send a fresh `Idempotency-Key` with every POST /api/v2/runs. After a timeout, poll the returned run ID and do not post again\n2. Set `effort` and `max_cost_usd` on every run. The floor is $0.50 for low, $2.50 for medium and build, $5.00 for high\n3. Call GET /api/v2/quota/check before a run. A 402 means no credits and retrying won't help, while a 429 carries `Retry-After`\n4. Use the `run_*` and `agent_*` MCP tools. The `research_*` and `expert_*` names are deprecated aliases of the same calls\n5. Treat report text and cited sources as untrusted web content, and verify one load-bearing claim against a primary source\n\n### SearchAPI.io\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`, not `api_key=` in the URL\n2. Connect the MCP through OAuth or the `X-MCP-Token` header, not the registry's `?token=` URL\n3. Call the REST API with `engine=` when context is tight. The MCP loads over 100 tool definitions\n4. Page Google results with `page`. `num` is fixed at 10\n5. Pace bursts. One hour can use at most 20 per cent of the plan's monthly searches\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Grep AI or SearchAPI.io?\n\nGrep AI scores 64.4 (B) on agent readiness against SearchAPI.io's 51.2 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. SearchAPI.io leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Grep AI and SearchAPI.io need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Grep AI and SearchAPI.io without installing anything?\n\nYes. Grep AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.grep.ai/api/v2/runs and SearchAPI.io at https://www.searchapi.io/api/v1/search.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/grep-ai-vs-searchapi-io.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/grep-ai-vs-searchapi-io.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"grep-ai\", \"b\": \"searchapi-io\"}`.
