Is Exa Agent worth running as a client service?

Exa Agent provides a technical API for deep web research and entity enrichment with structured results and citations, suitable for agencies with developer resources. Vendor pricing is usage-based and not published in the supplied data, so client pricing and ROI cannot be modeled without the agency supplying usage cost, labor, overhead, and expected volume.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
