Keenable

Keenable is an independent web search API built for AI agents and AI labs. It runs its own crawler, index, and ranking rather than reselling another engine's results, and the vendor describes an index of more than 100 billion documents with p95 latency under 250 milliseconds in US East. A second product, Time Machine, is listed alongside the Search API. The service is aimed at developers building agents who need live web grounding, and at AI labs and inference platforms that need search at high volume. The vendor publishes a quality versus cost comparison against other search providers using its NEEDLE benchmark. A console, documentation, and integrations are available, and the company reports a $26 million funding round from Accel and Conviction. Pricing is published per request. The agent builder tier is pay as you go at $4 per 1,000 requests with cloud only access, and the site offers 100,000 free requests a month to start. The AI labs and inference platforms tier is $1 per 1,000 requests at 100 requests per second and above, with dedicated capacity and both cloud and on premises deployment. The site also carries a notice addressed to AI agents pointing to a separate agent storefront for prices and payment instructions.
