Snapshot
Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Seltz is a paid web search and retrieval API for AI agents and RAG pipelines, offering five endpoints (Search, Answer, Agent, Monitor, Fetch) over an index it says it owns and operates.
More detail
- It returns ranked documents, cited answers, scheduled change alerts and multi-step research reports as LLM-ready content rather than raw HTML.
- Best for
- Engineering teams building agents, RAG or latency-sensitive web grounding who want ranked documents plus clean extracted text from one API.
More detail
- Also fits teams needing cited answers, scheduled change monitoring, or SOC 2 Type II / HIPAA / BYOC deployment.
- Pricing
- Pay-as-you-go per request, no monthly subscription stated: Search $5 per 1,000 requests (Pro), Answer $7 per 1,000, Fetch $10 per 1,000 URLs, Monitor $5 per 1,000 checks, and Agent runs from $0.25 (low) to $0.50 (medium) per run, with higher effort tiers implied.
More detail
- Base tiers are cheaper for Search, A
- Main limitation
- Teams that need a free or freemium production tier, since new accounts get limited free credits before pay-as-you-go.
More detail
- Also poor for anyone needing instant synchronous deep research (Agent is asynchronous with best-effort cancellation) or guaranteed top-1 named-entity lookup accuracy.

About
- Seltz is a paid web search and retrieval API for AI agents and RAG pipelines, offering five endpoints (Search, Answer, Agent, Monitor, Fetch) over an index it says it owns and operates.
- It returns ranked documents, cited answers, scheduled change alerts and multi-step research reports as LLM-ready content rather than raw HTML.
What it helps with
- Stale model knowledge: gives AI applications current web data instead of training-data cutoffs.
- Scraping and HTML cleanup overhead: returns url and content fields directly usable in prompts.
- Latency in agent loops: Pro search is stated at 200–500ms, with 318ms p50 claimed site-wide.
- Vendor dependency and data sovereignty: Seltz owns and operates its pipeline rather than wrapping third-party search.
- Re-querying for changes: Monitor re-runs a saved search on a schedule and returns only new results.
