What is this service?
Tavily is a web search and data-extraction API built specifically for large language models and AI agents. Instead of scraping raw HTML, developers call Tavily's search, extract, map, and research endpoints to get clean, ranked, LLM-ready results that can be dropped straight into a RAG pipeline or agent workflow.
It is used by AI engineers, startups, and teams building agents, chatbots, and research tools who need reliable, real-time web grounding. Tavily is usage-based: you consume API credits per call, starting with a free Researcher tier of 1,000 credits per month and moving to paid monthly plans or pay-as-you-go as your traffic grows.
If your local bank card does not work on Stripe, Mehbit lets you fund a reloadable virtual Visa or Mastercard with USDT and pay Tavily's subscription or add pay-as-you-go billing at app.tavily.com/billing.
Why is payment hard?
Many local bank cards are not authorized for international SaaS billing. Services process payments through Stripe on international rails, so domestic-only cards are often declined even when you have sufficient balance.

What are Tavily's plans and prices?
There is a free Researcher tier with 1,000 credits/month. Paid monthly plans are Project ($30 / 4,000 credits), Bootstrap ($100 / 15,000), Startup ($220 / 38,000), and Growth ($500 / 100,000). Pay-as-you-go is about $0.008 per credit, and Enterprise is custom.
How does Tavily's credit billing work?
Tavily charges API credits per call: 1 credit for a basic search, 2 for advanced, 1 credit per 5 successful URLs for extract, 1 per 10 pages for Map, and 4 to 250 credits for a single Research call. Failed extracts and maps are not charged.
Can I pay Tavily with cryptocurrency directly?
No. Tavily's Stripe checkout does not accept direct cryptocurrency or PayPal. Use USDT to fund a Mehbit virtual Visa or Mastercard, then pay Tavily in USD with that card.
Is there a free trial or free tier?
Yes. The Researcher tier gives 1,000 API credits every month with no credit card required — an ongoing free tier. You only add a card when moving to a paid plan or pay-as-you-go.
Tips
Estimate your credit burn before choosing a plan: basic search is 1 credit, advanced is 2, and a single Research call can cost 4 to 250 credits — load your Mehbit card with enough balance to cover real agent traffic, not just the plan price.
Keep your billing name, address, and ZIP consistent and matching your Mehbit card so Stripe's AVS and 3-D Secure checks pass on the first attempt.
Start on the free Researcher tier (1,000 credits/month, no card) to prototype, then add a card only when you need higher rate limits or more volume.
If your usage is spiky, pay-as-you-go at about $0.008/credit avoids paying for a full monthly plan; higher fixed tiers like Growth drop the per-credit cost to around $0.005 if your volume is steady.
Watch your dashboard usage: failed extracts and maps are not billed, but heavy Research calls add up fast — top up your Mehbit card before credits run out to avoid interrupted agent runs.
