Plans
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 1,000 API credits / month |
| Pay As You Go | $0.008/credit | Pay only for what you use |
| Project | Variable | 4,000 API credits / month |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom API calls |
The Free plan at $0/mo covers 1,000 API credits / month, which is where an agent would start. The top plan (Enterprise) is quoted rather than listed, so anything at that volume goes through a person.
Can an agent buy this on its own?
A price is only half the question. The other half is whether software can get from landing on the site to making a paid call without a person, which is what the AgentReady measures under adopt.
For Tavily, it can create an account itself; API credentials can be created over the API.
Against that, a sales call gates access; the signup flow assumes a human at a browser. Each of those is a point where an unattended run stops and waits for a human.
That works out to 70/100 on adopt, against 86/100 overall.
What you are paying for
One secure API for real-time web access. A web access layer for AI agents that retrieves live web data, extracts relevant content, and returns it structured for models to reason over facts without hallucinating.
