Most services have a fixed task credit cost. Some depend on provider usage, search depth, account model type, or number of generated images. ## How task costs work Hosted AI model calls, hosted agent calls, hosted prompt runs, hosted native search, and hosted image generation use the hosted LLM pool for provider usage. Each call still records a task count. Personal model calls use your connected provider account. They charge the platform task credits shown in the table and don't add a hosted provider charge. ## Workflow and model services | Service | Task credits | Notes | | -------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | AI Model | 1 | Hosted calls also include provider usage in the hosted LLM pool. Personal model calls cost 1 platform task credit. | | Agent | 1 | Hosted agent calls also include provider usage in the hosted LLM pool. Personal model calls cost 1 platform task credit. | | Prompt | 1 | Prompt runs use the same pricing path as AI model calls. | | Image Generation | 1 per image | Hosted image generation charges one task per generated image and includes provider usage in the hosted LLM pool. Personal image generation costs one platform task credit per image. | | Google Search | 2 or 3 | Hosted searches up to depth 40 cost 2 credits. Depth above 40 or backup search costs 3 credits. Personal searches cost 0 credits. | | Google Grounding | 1 | Hosted Gemini grounded results charge one task and provider usage in the hosted LLM pool. Personal Gemini grounding records the tool run without hosted LLM wallet credits. | | Bing Search | 2 or 3 | Uses the same task cost rules as Google Search. | | Google News | 2 or 3 | Uses the same task cost rules as Google Search. | | Google AI Mode | 2 | Personal provider usage costs 0 credits. | | Google AI Overview | 2 | Personal provider usage costs 0 credits. | | Website Scrape | 1 | Fixed platform task credit cost. | | Exa Search | Variable | Hosted calls are calculated from the Exa provider charge plus platform markup.

Sub-agents bill through their child agent run instead of the parent tool call. Nested sub-agent costs, tokens, and task credits roll up through the parent chain, including failed child runs when they produced billable completion records. Execution timeout and depth/parallelism caps are controlled separately from trace and cost rendering. | Agent tool | Task credits | Notes | | -------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | GPT Search | 1 | Native OpenAI web search is recorded as a `gpt_search` tool call. | | Vector Search | 1 | Vector search tool calls count as one task. | | DataForSEO | 1 | Hosted DataForSEO calls also record the provider-side unit charge. | | xAI Web Search | 1 | Hosted calls use the hosted LLM pool for provider usage. | | X Search | 1 | Hosted calls use the hosted LLM pool for provider usage. | | Anthropic Web Search | 1 | Completed hosted calls use the hosted LLM pool for provider usage. | | Sub-agent | Billed on child run | The child agent creates its own completions and task usage. | ## Structural services | Service | Task credits | Notes | | --------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Workflow | Billed by child services | A workflow step records the nested run result. The nested workflow's own steps carry the task usage. | | Iteration | 0 | Iteration records the fan-out or aggregate result. Steps inside the iteration carry their own task usage. | | Condition | 0 | Conditions route execution and don't create a billed service call. |
