Use /find with a plain-English request, or /companies and /gst-registrations with category, state and district filters.

How much does a B2B company search API cost?

IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call from a prepaid wallet, and new accounts get INR 50 free credit, about 125 calls. Errors such as 404 not found are not billed. EasyLeadz lists INR 2,499 per month billed yearly; Tofler, Dun & Bradstreet India and Probe42 do not show a price on the pages reviewed.

Can an AI agent run this check?

Yes. IndiaCos runs an MCP server at https://indiacos.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can call the same lookups with an API key. Each successful call is billed at INR 0.40 like any other API call. An agent can describe the business it wants and read the filters the AI chose.
