Scavio for Search Cost Comparison for Production AI Agents

The Problem

Production agent teams overpay for search because they chose a provider during prototyping (often on free tiers) and never re-evaluated pricing at production volume.

How Scavio Helps

• Side-by-side cost at 10K/25K/50K/100K queries per month
• Scavio and Brave: $0.005/query (linear). Tavily: $30-100/mo (subscription cliffs)
• Perplexity Sonar: $5-12/1K. Linkup: EUR 5/1K
• Multi-platform value: Scavio covers 6 platforms at same per-query cost
• Cost optimization: structured results reduce follow-up queries by 30-40%

Relevant Platforms

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "search api pricing comparison agents 2026":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")

Built for AI engineering and platform teams operating production agents at scale

Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your search cost comparison for production ai agents solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.

Start with the free tier (250 credits/month, no credit card required) and scale to paid plans when you need higher volume.
