Upgrade to Grep Pro: API Access, Better AI Models & More cover

Grep now has paid plans. Pro unlocks programmatic API access, our most powerful AI, and higher usage limits. Free users keep full access to all effort levels and data sources - just with lower limits.

Paid Plans

We've introduced paid plans so we can keep investing in better AI, more data sources, and faster results. Here's what each tier gets you.

Grep Pro Upgrade

Free gives you full access to every effort level and data source - 10 medium-effort and 2 high-effort jobs per month. For many use cases, that's plenty.

Basic ($50/mo) is for users who need more. You get 3x the usage limits and the ability to export your research to PDF, slide decks, and audio.

Pro ($200/mo) is for power users. You get 5x the usage, our best AI for high-effort research, programmatic API access, export to PDF, slide decks and audio, and custom AI experts (coming soon). Save 17% with annual billing.

Ultra ($500/mo) is everything in Pro with the highest usage limits, dedicated support, and early access to new features.

We're also working on a Pay As You Go option - buy credits as needed without a monthly commitment. Coming soon.

Simple, transparent billing:

  • Powered by Stripe - secure checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major cards
  • Upgrade instantly - switch plans any time, prorated to the day
  • Downgrade gracefully - keep your current features until the end of the billing period
  • No surprises - see exactly what you'll pay before confirming any change

Programmatic API Access

Grep API Playground

Run Grep research from your own code.

Pro and Ultra plans include API access so you can trigger research jobs, retrieve results, and integrate Grep directly into your products and workflows. Build automated research pipelines, power internal tools, or embed research into your own applications.


Use Your Plan However You Want

Every plan gives you one pool of usage to spend however you like. Run lots of quick medium-effort jobs, fewer deep high-effort ones, or any mix. You're never stuck hitting one limit while another sits unused.

Want More Usage? Invite Friends.

Every successful referral earns you bonus credits on top of your plan allowance. Share your invite link from your settings page - there's no cap on how many people you can invite.


What Else Is New

Research UX

Research Planning

  • Rich HTML reports - non-entity research now generates visual reports with SVG charts and interactive Google Maps
  • Real-time planning - watch research tasks progress with live status updates
  • Smart paste - paste long text and it automatically moves to context, keeping your question clean
  • Context chips - uploaded files and context appear as chips above the search box

New Integrations

🚢 Maritime vessel tracking - new zone search for geographic vessel queries, enhanced cargo data with dimensions and TEU capacity, and migrated to MyShipTracking v2 for faster, more reliable lookups.


We built Grep to make research effortless. These plans let us keep investing in better AI, more data sources, and faster results. If you have questions about which plan is right for you, reach out on X or email feedback[at]grep.ai.
