README Excerpt

**Your agent doesn't shop around. Frugal does.** The same web search costs $0 on Wikipedia, Marginalia, or SearXNG, $0.001 on Serper, $0.005 on You.com — and agents pick providers by what's wired in, not by price. For search-heavy agents that's most of the bill: in one Deep Research teardown, search alone was 54% of task cost.
