What is a QU?

Query Unit — the metering unit for your monthly plan.

Each plan includes a monthly QU allowance. Costs depend on which surface you call from.

1 QUper call
REST API + MCP V2 tools

Default rate. Each /api/v2 call (events, stories, entities, summaries, energy assets) and each MCP V2 tool call counts as 1 QU.

5 QUper tool call
GDELT Cloud Agent UI

Tool calls fired by the in-app Agent are billed at 5× the standard rate. One agent run typically triggers 5–10 tool calls across GDELT Cloud, Energy Data, and enrichment categories.

Counts toward QU
Other MCP tools

Energy Data (Global Energy Monitor assets), Macroeconomic & Finance, Prediction Markets, and Open Web Search tools all consume QU when called via MCP.

What is a BU?

Brief Unit — the metering unit for Monitoring Briefs.

Briefs are metered in BU, separate from QU — they never draw down your query units. Each plan includes a monthly BU allowance; buy more anytime.

1 BUper Brief
Skim & Standard Briefs

A standard Monitoring Brief — what changed, why it matters, the evidence, and what to watch — costs 1 Brief Unit.

Set by planper additional Brief
Additional Briefs

Beyond your included monthly allowance, run more Briefs at the per-Brief price shown on each plan above. No hard stop — you keep going.
