ScraperAPI
A general scraping API, not a SERP specialist: Google and Bing sit in the most expensive domain bucket at 25 credits per request, so the headline credit allowances are misleading for search work. The cheapest paid plan, Hobby at $49 for 100,000 credits, buys 4,000 Google searches - about $12.25 per 1,000, which is dearer than most dedicated SERP APIs. It is good value only if search is a small part of a mixed scraping workload, since the same balance also buys 1-credit flat page fetches. Left null: overage dollars-per-credit (docs call it 'fixed, predictable' but never print it), the operating company's country, and whether search-language targeting is offered on the SERP endpoints.

Every published plan
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Overage each | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $49.00 per month | 100,000 | hard cap | 20 concurrent threads, geotargeting US and EU only, 30-day analytics history. $44.10/mo billed annually. No pay-as-you-go, so 100,000 credits is 4,000 Google searches and then the plan stops. |
| Startup | $149 per month | 1,000,000 | hard cap | 50 concurrent threads, geotargeting US and EU only. $134.10/mo billed annually. No pay-as-you-go. |
| Business | $299 per month | 3,000,000 | hard cap | 100 concurrent threads, country-level geotargeting, unlimited analytics history. $269.10/mo billed annually. No pay-as-you-go. |
| Scaling | $475 per month | 5,000,000 | not published | Marked 'Most popular'. 200 concurrent threads. $427.50/mo billed annually. First plan with pay-as-you-go overflow; the docs describe it as 'a fixed, predictable rate' with an optional spending cap but publish no dollars-per-credit figure, so overagePerUnitUsd is null. |
| Professional | $975 per month | 10,500,000 | not published | 300 concurrent threads, priority support. $877.50/mo billed annually. Page also shows a 'LIMITED OFFER +250K BONUS CREDITS' banner not counted in includedUnits. Pay-as-you-go overflow at an unpublished rate. |
| Advanced | $1,975 per month | 21,500,000 | not published | 500 concurrent threads, priority routing. $1,777.50/mo billed annually. Page also shows a 'LIMITED OFFER +500K BONUS CREDITS' banner not counted in includedUnits. Pay-as-you-go overflow at an unpublished rate. |
| Enterprise | on request | - | not published | 'Custom /month', Contact Sales. Listed as 22,000,000+ API credits and 500+ concurrent threads with a dedicated support team and Slack support. |
Docs credit table: Normal (flat) request 1 credit, E-Commerce (Amazon, Walmart, eBay) 5, SERP (Google, Bing - applies to all subdomains) 25, Social Media (LinkedIn) 30. The SERP category covers both raw google.com URLs and every structured-data endpoint under structured/google/* and structured/bing/*, so one Google search costs 25 credits. Add-ons raise it: the DataPipeline credit matrix (which the docs say now matches standard scraping rates) prices a SERP request at 25 flat, 35 with JS rendering, 35 with premium, 45 with premium + JS, 55 with ultra_premium and 75 with ultra_premium + JS. country_code, device_type, session_number, output_format and autoparse add no cost. Only successful requests (200 and 404) are charged.
