About

Brave Search is a privacy-focused search engine from the creators of the Brave Browser. Brave Search does not currently show ads. Eventually it will have an ad-supported free model, or a paid model that does not show ads. Brave Search API: Power your search and AI applications with the fastest growing independent search engine since Bing. Access an index of billions of pages with a single API call. All users can get started for FREE for up to 1 query per second, and 2,000 queries per month. Brave is one of only a few global, independent search providers, and it’s the fastest growing search engine since Bing. Get access to high-quality data that’s actually usable. Build everything from search engines to AI apps. As the default engine in the Brave browser, Brave Search is consistently refreshed with new data via its Web Discovery Project contribution framework.

About

The Exa API retrieves the best content on the web using embeddings-based search. Exa understands meaning, giving results search engines can’t. Exa uses a novel link prediction transformer to predict links which match the meaning of a prompt. For queries that need semantic understanding, search with our SOTA web embeddings model over our custom index. For all other queries, we offer keyword-based search. Stop learning how to web scrape or parse HTML. Get the clean, full text of any page in our index, or intelligent embeddings-ranked highlights related to a query. Select any date range, include or exclude any domain, select a custom data vertical, or get up to 10 million results..

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Open source and easy to customize and use. Really fast search Secure and has a lots of customizable options.
  • Anonymous, privacy centered search, not unlike DuckDuckGo. Built by the team that made the brave browser, which makes sense - that's a privacy centered browser! UI is well made.

Cons

  • No cons Brave search works great and search really well.
  • It's not as well known and is in beta stage so it just needs time to improve. It uses (anonymous) Google searches as a fallback when it doesn't yield good search results itself (if you enable that setting).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Exa delivers modern neural search APIs tailored for LLMs, with seamless web crawling, real‑time indexing and semantic query understanding—ideal for AI products that require precise, contextual data access.

Cons

  • Still maturing documentation and adoption; not yet ubiquitous across enterprise ecosystems.
