# Exa Cost and Credit Control
## Overview
Control Exa spend through endpoint selection, bounded result and content work, per-key budgets, and response-derived cost evidence. Treat credentials, queries, retrieved content, generated output, spend, and destructive state as separately governed boundaries.
## Prerequisites
- The target repository, environment, Exa team, product surface, and accountable owner.
- The workload's data classification, latency and freshness promise, cost ceiling, and retention policy.
- Current first-party documentation plus credentials only for a narrowly approved live check.
## Current Contract
Exa uses prepaid pay-as-you-go credits unless an enterprise contract says otherwise. Search, Contents, Answer, Monitors, and Agent have different pricing; additional results, summaries, deep types, provider calls, and metered Agent effort can add cost. Higher credit balance does not raise rate limits.
