Bright Data SERP API
The only major SERP API with a true no-commitment pay-as-you-go rate on a public page: $1.50 per 1,000 requests, one flat price for every engine and vertical, with failed requests not billed. Monthly commitment buys the rate down along a three-position slider to $1.00 per 1,000 at $1,999/month for 2M requests, and the free tier is 5,000 requests/month with no card. The catch is the buying experience rather than the price: it is a proxy company's console, the plan floor to beat $1.30/1k is $499/month, and the page never says whether unused plan requests roll over. Bright Data quotes USD as binding and shows other currencies as indicative only.

One flat rate per request across every engine and vertical; no per-vertical multiplier is published. Pricing FAQ: 'Executing each API is counted as a request. In asynchronous mode, only "send request" is counted and collecting the response is not counted.' Failed requests are not billed ('Pay only for success'). Separately, the product page advertises a 'Fast SERP' mode with 'latency up to 3-4x faster than our standard SERP API' - no price for it is published, so no multiplier is recorded here.
