What a headline price leaves out.
Credits are not searches
One Google search costs 1 credit on some platforms and 25 on others. Every price here is per search, after the multiplier.
Plan floors dominate small volume
A $50 minimum on 1,000 searches a month is $50 per 1,000, whatever the sticker says. The monthly bill column shows it.
Most credits expire monthly
Unused allowance usually vanishes at the end of the cycle. The table marks who rolls over and who does not.
Every number has a source
No estimates and no affiliate links. Each provider page lists the exact URL and the date the price was read off it.
Questions the table answers.
Every figure below is recomputed from the provider records each time the site is built, against prices last checked on 2026-09-06.
What is the cheapest SERP API at 10,000 searches a month?
Serpent API is the cheapest published route, at $0.600 per 1,000 Google web searches, or $6.00 a month for 10,000. AnyAPI is next at $0.900 per 1,000. Both figures are list prices with the credit multiplier and any plan minimum already applied, and 22 providers publish a price at this volume.
What does a Google search API cost at only 1,000 searches a month?
The cheapest published route is Serpent API at $0.600 per 1,000, which comes to $0.600 for the month. The dearest of the 22 priced providers is VALUE SERP at $50.00 per 1,000, because its smallest plan is charged in full whether you use it or not. At this volume the plan floor, not the per-search rate, decides what you pay.
Which providers let you start without a monthly plan?
6 of the 26 providers tracked here sell searches with nothing to pay up front: AnyAPI, Apify Google Search Results Scraper, Bright Data SERP API, Crawlbase, DataForSEO and Serpent API. Everyone else asks for a plan or a prepaid pack first, and the smallest of those is $15.00. That entry price is shown on every provider page as the cheapest way in.
Do unused search credits expire?
Usually yes: 14 of the 26 providers reset an unused allowance at the end of every billing cycle, so anything you did not spend is gone. 6 let credits roll over indefinitely and 2 sell prepaid packs with a stated validity window instead. 4 do not publish an answer at all, which the table marks rather than guesses.
How much more does Google Maps cost than a web search?
On most price lists, nothing: 11 of the 13 providers that publish a price for both charge exactly the same per 1,000 for a Maps search as for a web search. The exceptions are AnyAPI at 1.9 times the web rate and Serpent API at 2.5 times the web rate. The bigger difference is coverage, because only 13 of the 26 providers price Maps at all.
Which SERP APIs have a free tier?
22 of the 26 providers publish a free allowance. The largest is Bright Data SERP API at 5,000 free calls, and 16 of the 22 start without a credit card. A free allowance never counts towards the ranking here, because it is a trial rather than a price.
How many SERP APIs sell Bing search, and what does it cost?
8 of the 26 providers publish a Bing price, against 22 for Google web search. The cheapest at 10,000 searches a month is Bright Data SERP API at $1.50 per 1,000. 8 of those 8 charge the same per 1,000 for Bing as for a Google web search, so a Bing shortlist is decided by coverage rather than by price.
