FAQ
Frequently asked
Direct answers on pricing, integrations, deliverability, API access, and the reply loop. Deeper detail lives in the product.
- What is Bavlio?
- Bavlio is an AI-powered sales outreach platform. It researches leads, drafts personalized messages in your voice, sends and sequences them, handles replies, and keeps campaign state — so your team focuses on the conversations that matter, not the busywork before them.
- How is Bavlio different from Apollo, Instantly, or Outreach?
- Classic outreach tools assume a human writes the sequence and a BDR triages replies. Bavlio composes each touch from the prospect's live state (what they opened, replied, posted) and handles the reply loop end-to-end. The comparison pages at /compare go into each alternative individually.
- Do I need a credit card to start?
- No. The Free plan comes with 100 credits and no credit card — enough to research a handful of leads, draft personalized messages, and send your first outreach. Upgrade when you need more capacity.
- How does Bavi learn my voice?
- When you create your sender profile, Bavi reads your LinkedIn, your past outbound, and anything you paste in — then uses that to shape every draft. You approve or edit before anything sends. Over time, Bavi adapts based on what gets replies.
- Does Bavlio integrate with my CRM?
- Yes. Bavlio works with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Crunchbase, and the major CRMs — Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive. It pulls context from them and pushes updates back, so your system of record stays accurate.
- How does deliverability work?
- Every sending identity is per-agent and per-domain. Bavlio handles SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup programmatically, runs pre-send policy checks on every draft, and warms new sending domains automatically. Reputation is scoped to the agent, not shared across a pool.
- Can Bavlio handle replies, or just sending?
- Replies are the point. Bavi classifies incoming messages (positive, negative, out-of-office, book-a-meeting), drafts the next touch, and either auto-sends it, queues it for your review, or hands off to a human based on the confidence threshold you set.
- How quickly can I launch my first campaign?
- Under 10 minutes for most users. Tell Bavi your ideal customer profile, upload a lead list or point Bavi at your source, approve the first round of drafts, and the sequence starts. No complex sequence builder, no manual templates to author.
- How does Bavlio pricing work?
- Credit-based. Self-serve ranges from Free (100 credits) to Teams at $149/mo (25,000 credits). Credits cover lead research, message personalization, and sending. Pricing is per workspace, not per user — adding team members does not multiply cost. Full plan details at /pricing.
- Where can I see what's shipping next?
- Our blog at /blog covers product updates, engineering notes, and playbooks. For deeper roadmap conversations — especially around custom workflows or dedicated infrastructure — reach out from /pricing.
- What plans include API access?
- Every paid Bavlio plan includes API access via API key. The same endpoints are also available as pay-per-call via our x402 API (USDC on Base), which requires no Bavlio account. Both are documented at /developers; pick by integration style — SaaS API for server-to-server workflows inside your plan, x402 API for AI agents paying per call.
- How do I get an API key?
- Sign in to your Bavlio workspace and open Settings → API keys to generate one. Keys are scoped to the workspace that issued them and respect that workspace's plan credits. Full auth flow at /developers/api. Agents that do not have a Bavlio account should use the x402 API at /developers/x402 instead — no key required.
- How does per-call USDC payment work?
- We implement the x402 v2 protocol over HTTP. Your agent sends a request without payment first; the API returns HTTP 402 with the price, network (Base mainnet), and merchant address. The agent signs an ERC-3009 transferWithAuthorization with its CDP wallet, retries the request with the signed payload in the x-payment header, and we verify + settle via the Coinbase Developer Platform facilitator before returning the paid response. Pricing ranges from $0.003 to $0.012 per call depending on endpoint. Full example at /developers/x402.
- What is AgentCash?
- AgentCash (at Merit-Systems/agentcash-skills) is a catalog of pay-per-call APIs formatted for AI-agent discovery. Agents pull the catalog, match our skill definition against what they need, and invoke endpoints directly without human configuration. Bavlio is listed there alongside our listings on x402scan, x402.direct, and the x402 Bazaar — all sourced from api.bavlio.com/openapi.json so our pricing and merchant address stay in sync everywhere.
- Should I use the SaaS API or the x402 API?
- Pick by integration style, not by which data you need — both APIs serve the same underlying B2B data. Use the SaaS API (/developers/api) if you're a Bavlio customer automating workflows inside your own systems, want spend capped by your monthly plan credits, and prefer dashboards + audit logs over on-chain settlement. Use the x402 API (/developers/x402) if you're an AI agent (or build one) that needs to pay for B2B data on demand without a human-in-the-loop signup — one signed request, one paid answer, no subscription.
