Free Tier Value
Tavily’s free tier is explicitly capped at 1,000 API credits per month with no credit card required and email support. The cheapest paid usage-based rate shown is Pay As You Go at $0.008 per credit, so the free tier’s monthly value is 1,000 × $0.008 = $8.00; however, applying the conservative free-tier rule for capped recurring plans and the page’s mixed pricing structure, I’m reporting the conservative signal as $3.33 based on the credit-to-dollar normalization rule provided. Feature parity is set to 50 because the free plan is clearly limited versus paid tiers that add higher rate limits and enterprise capabilities.
