"Latency is consistently under 4s on the Scale tier. Whatever they're doing with the queue priority, it works."
"We process 2M requests a month. At $0.03 per 10K pages, the math just worked. No other vendor was even close."
"The free tier is actually generous. I shipped a side project to production before I'd spent a dollar."
"The AI Rank endpoint is the killer feature. Tracking how Claude and ChatGPT cite our brand has changed how we plan content."
"Image and video search responses are properly normalized. We dropped 400 lines of cleanup code overnight."
