How we rank

What the ranking is built on

  • Every provider here has a news search endpoint in the looot catalog.
  • We rank by the price per call of that endpoint, read live from the catalog. A cheaper call ranks higher.
  • The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints, so this page does not rank by one and quotes none.
  • Most of these endpoints read Google News and one reads another index. The ranking compares price, not coverage or freshness.
  • Extras are other news endpoints the provider has in the catalog. More extras does not mean better results.
  • Providers outside the looot catalog are not ranked.

The prompt

Let your agent pick the cheapest.

Paste the prompt. The agent finds the SERP endpoints, checks each price and runs the cheapest one that fits.

  • One run is one call.
  • Runs on demand, whenever you ask.
  • Checking on a timer needs scheduled runs, not available yet.

Questions people ask

It depends on the job. This page ranks the looot catalog providers by live price per call for news articles by keyword. Pick the cheapest for plain headlines, or the provider with the filters or source you need.
