Providers

A reference to every AI answer engine cloro can monitor, which features each one exposes, and how credits are charged per request.

Overview

cloro captures structured results from a range of AI-powered answer surfaces and search products. Every monitor request is priced through a credit-based model: a request draws down credits from your balance according to the provider it targets, not the number of optional fields you enable. In practice this keeps billing predictable — enabling extra extraction never changes the price of a call.

All monitoring runs through the /v1/monitor/* endpoints for synchronous calls and /v1/async/* for asynchronous and batch work. The tables below list the providers you can target and the capabilities available on each.

Provider catalog and base cost

Each supported provider is billed at a flat base rate per successful request. Optional extraction features listed under Highlights are bundled into that base cost.

Every synchronous /v1/monitor/* request settles at a flat 7 credits once it succeeds, whatever features or page counts are requested. Asynchronous and batch calls under /v1/async/* follow the same base pricing and are not subject to the synchronous flat charge.

Google Search multi-page pricing

Google Search and Google News support paginated crawls. The first page is part of the base request, and every additional page through page ten is included at no extra credit cost.

An HTML rendering of the response is returned at no additional charge. A ten-page Google Search crawl with AI Overview still totals 7 credits. Google News uses the same multi-page model but without the AI Overview option.

ChatGPT feature bundle

ChatGPT requests run with web search active and let you opt into several extraction layers. None of them alter the price.

Any mix of raw response, query fan-out, ads, and shopping extraction keeps the request at a flat 7 credits.

Feature comparison

Query fan-out surfaces the internal search queries a provider issues while researching a prompt, which helps you see how a model decomposes a complex question.

Shopping cards pull structured product listings out of a provider's answer when the provider itself returns product data.

Ads extraction returns advertiser branding, destination links, and product carousel cards from a provider's response.

Unsupported providers

cloro does not currently monitor the providers below. The list captures the requests we hear most often and shifts as our coverage grows.

Notes

Shopping card extraction is only possible on providers that emit product data — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, or AI Mode. If a provider omits products from its answer, no cards are returned.
