Ujeebu vs Tavily
Tavily is a search API built for AI agents; Ujeebu is a full web-data platform. They overlap on AI web access, but Ujeebu also does raw scraping of protected sites, structured Google SERP, extraction, screenshots and PDF, the things an agent needs when ranked search results are not enough.
Key differences.
Cost, side by side.
| Pricing model | Ujeebu | Tavily |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (5,000 credits, no card) | $0 (1,000 credits, no card) |
| Entry | $49/mo (300K credits) | $30/mo (4,000 credits) |
| Mid | $119/mo (1M credits) | $100/mo (15,000 credits) |
| Scale | $299/mo (3M credits) | $500/mo (100,000 credits) |
These are different tools priced in different units. Tavily credits are per search or extract; Ujeebu credits scale with the operation (1 for a static fetch, more for rendering, proxies or AI extraction). Tavily is search-first; Ujeebu is a full web-data API. Compare on your real workload with the calculator on our pricing page.

An honest look at each.
ujeebu- One platform for raw web data and structured search results
- Built-in residential proxies and CAPTCHA solving for protected sites
- Structured Google SERP API, not a proprietary black-box index
- Screenshots and PDF output included
- One credit pool across every endpoint, with a generous free trial
- Not a turnkey "ask a question, get an answer" search; you compose SERP and extraction
- A blended credit model takes a moment to learn
Tavily- Purpose-built agentic search with ranked, LLM-ready results
- Optional synthesized answers, well suited to RAG
- Simple month-to-month pricing plus true pay-as-you-go
- Strong agent ecosystem (MCP, LangChain, LlamaIndex)
- Not a scraper: no residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving or JS-rendering guarantees
- No screenshots or PDF output
- Search is a proprietary index, not structured Google SERP data
- Self-serve tops out low (100K credits at $500/mo)

Our take: Tavily for agentic search, Ujeebu for the whole web-data layer
Tavily does one thing well: ranked, LLM-ready search results for agents and RAG. If that is all you need, it is a clean choice. But it is not a scraper, with no residential proxies, no CAPTCHA solving, no JS-rendering guarantees, no screenshots or PDF, and a proprietary search index rather than structured Google SERP. Ujeebu covers agentic search through its SERP and extraction APIs and adds everything Tavily cannot do, on one credit pool. For an agent that needs to actually reach and read the open web, Ujeebu is the fuller layer.
