The cheapest per-SERP list price of the five if you can tolerate a queue: $0.60 per 1,000 SERPs in the Standard queue (about 5 minutes), $2.00 per 1,000 for a Live call answered in ~6 seconds. Pure prepaid pay-as-you-go with a never-expiring balance, but the minimum top-up is $50 and one 'SERP' is only 10 results, so deep result pages multiply the task price. Advanced search operators multiply the price by 5 each, which is easy to miss.

Every published plan
| Plan | Price | Included requests | Overage each | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go (Standard queue) | $0 per month | 0 | $0.0006 | $0.60 per 1,000 SERPs. Queue-based, ~5 minute average turnaround (45 minute target). |
| Pay-as-you-go (Priority queue) | $0 per month | 0 | $0.0012 | $1.20 per 1,000 SERPs. Up to 1 minute average turnaround. |
| Pay-as-you-go (Live) | $0 per month | 0 | $0.0020 | $2.00 per 1,000 SERPs. Up to 6 second average turnaround. This is the mode comparable to a synchronous SERP API call and the one used for unitCost.google_web. |
1 unit = one task (one SERP page = 10 results) in Live mode at $0.002. Google Organic, Google Maps, Google News, Google Images and Bing Organic all cost the same $0.002 Live / $0.0012 Priority queue / $0.0006 Standard queue per SERP, so every multiplier is 1. Google Shopping is null here because it sits in DataForSEO's separate Merchant API and has no Live mode: $0.001 per product/seller/SERP in the Standard queue and $0.002 in the Priority queue. Parameter multipliers apply on top: each Google search operator (site:, filetype:, inurl:) multiplies the task price by 5, calculate_rectangles by 2, and depth multiplies per extra page of results.
