Quick search vs deep search

Each council seat costs credits based on the model you pick. A typical 5-engine council uses 5–12 credits per search depending on your mix.

Quick search

1 credit per engine seat

Fast, capable models for everyday questions. A 5-engine quick council costs about 5 credits — roughly 50 searches on your monthly allowance.

Deep search

1.5–2.5 credits per seat

Premium and reasoning models for harder questions. A 5-engine deep council costs about 10–12 credits — roughly 25 searches on your monthly allowance.

Engine pricing

Credits charged per council seat when using SearchCouncil’s built-in keys. BYOK engines are free — you pay the provider directly.

Pricing reality check

Five AI subscriptions add up fast.

Most people who want multiple opinions end up paying for each chatbot on its own. SearchCouncil is built for that workflow — without the tab shuffle or the stacked monthly bills.
