Checked Nov 1, 2026 on Tavily’s official pages (sources below). Prices change often: confirm with the provider before you buy.
Tavily is a search API for AI agents. It bills in API credits: each endpoint uses a set number of credits per request, and you buy credits pay as you go or in a monthly plan.

Tavily pricing FAQ
How much does one Tavily search cost?
A basic search uses 1 credit and an advanced search 2. Credits cost $0.008 each pay as you go, or $0.0075 down to $0.005 each on monthly plans from Project ($30 for 4,000 credits) to Growth ($500 for 100,000), per Tavily’s pricing and docs (checked Nov 1, 2026).
What happens when Tavily credits run out?
Tavily’s FAQ says requests stop until your credits reset or you upgrade; pay as you go lets you be charged per credit once a plan’s credits are used up.
Does Tavily accept crypto?
Tavily runs an x402 route (x402.tavily.com) that answers an unpaid search with HTTP 402 and a USDC price. We check it daily without paying; the price we read is shown on this page.
