Our take
Pick Parallel if agent teams who will start on Search Fast at $1 / 1,000 requests and only buy Task or Responses when a lookup is not enough. Pick Tavily if agent builders who want hosted web search without running a crawler. Skip Tavily if teams that need a neural search index with contents in one call (Exa) or a scrape-to-markdown playground (Firecrawl).
