Prepaid Tavily/Firecrawl hop when keyless DDG/Searxng isn’t enough?

PentAGI’s web_search already ships DuckDuckGo / Searxng — I’m not replacing that. Adjacent: Tavily / Firecrawl / Perplexity still want those keys when a hosted engine is the path (and web_search orchestrates the engines).

I built apifare (formerly apipay) so when a paid Tavily/Firecrawl hop is the path, that hop sits on a prepaid MCP meter: one bearer token; governed proxy; no Tavily/Firecrawl/Perplexity keys in Settings for those calls; caps + kill switch. Founding users get +1,500 credits on the first successful call.

Worth a look if a prepaid meter is the optional paid hop when keyless DDG/Searxng isn’t enough?
