SerpApi
The widest engine and vertical coverage of any SERP API, with a U.S. Legal Shield (up to $2M coverage) from the $150 Production plan up and published uptime SLAs of up to 99.97%. The catch is price: at 100,000 searches/month the Searcher plan is $725, or $7.25 per 1,000 - roughly 5-7x the pay-as-you-go rate of Serper or Bright Data. There is no overage: plans hard-cap and you either early-renew or wait. Speed is a paid axis, with Ludicrous Speed doubling and Ludicrous Speed Max quadrupling the same plan's price.

Pricing page FAQ: 'Only successful searches are counted toward your monthly searches. Cached, errored, and failed searches are not. The number of results returned per response will not affect the number of credits used - responses with 100 results or empty result sets will both count as 1 search.' No engine or vertical multiplier is published; every API in the list bills 1 search. Speed tiers change the plan price, not the credit cost: the same search volume costs 2x under Ludicrous Speed and 4x under Ludicrous Speed Max (e.g. Searcher 100,000 searches is $725, $1,450, or $2,900).
Cost by search type
