How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Exa names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Analytics. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Exa also lists Perplexity API, Brave Search API, Google Custom Search, Bing Search API, Tavily AI Search as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
