Qwairy sends your prompts to a wide set of AI providers and models. This page lists every provider and model we support, explains the two ways Qwairy collects their answers, and details how many credits each response costs.

​
How Qwairy queries AI models

Qwairy collects answers in two fundamentally different ways, and every model falls into one of them. The method determines what you’re measuring, where it can be run, and how much it costs.

Core models: web scraping

Qwairy simulates a real user sending your prompt through the model’s public-facing website, then retrieves the answer straight from that interface.You see exactly what a real user sees in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, or Google, including AI Overviews and AI Mode. Results can be geo-localized by country.Flat cost: 1 credit per response.

Premium models: official API

Qwairy calls the provider’s official API for a specific, versioned model (e.g. gpt-5, claude-opus-4-8), with web search grounding enabled so answers stay current.You get a deterministic, pinned model version, ideal for comparing a precise model across time or against competitors.Cost varies by model: 2 to 20 credits per response.
Both methods answer different questions. Core models tell you how your brand shows up for a real user right now. Premium models let you benchmark a precise model version consistently. Most brands monitor a few Core models first, then add Premium models for deeper competitive analysis.

​
Core models: web scraping

All Core models cost 1 credit per response and reflect the model’s live, public web experience.

​
Premium models: official API

Premium models are queried through each provider’s official API. Cost depends on the model.

How credits work

Qwairy uses a credit-based system. Credits are consumed when generating AI responses, creating content, and importing prompts.

​
Calculation examples

Monitoring run, 10 prompts x 3 models (ChatGPT Core, GPT-5 Mini, Perplexity Core):
Prompt import with auto-generate, 100 prompts run against all 7 Core models:
Brand Perception, one snapshot across 6 Core providers:
Content Studio, 1 article brief = 50 credits.
