Serper
The cheapest headline Google SERP price here: $1.00 per 1,000 queries at the $50 entry pack, falling to $0.30 per 1,000 at $3,750. No subscription and no monthly floor, but it is prepaid and credits die after 6 months, so buying a cheap tier you cannot consume in six months is a real loss. The published FAQ says credits are deducted only on successful responses and results are never cached. Serper is Google-only (search, images, news, maps, places, videos, shopping, scholar, patents, autocomplete) and publishes no per-endpoint credit multipliers, so budget those as unknown.

The pricing block equates credits to queries one-for-one ('50k credits ($1.00/1k) - Submit 50,000 queries'), so a Google web search is 1 credit. Serper does serve maps, news, images and shopping endpoints, but no per-endpoint credit multiplier is published on serper.dev and there is no reachable public docs site (docs.serper.dev does not resolve), so those are null rather than assumed to be 1. Serper is Google-only; it does not offer Bing.

Where these numbers came from
- https://serper.dev/ read 2026-09-06 / the four top-up tiers with prices, credits, per-1k rates, QPS, 6-month credit validity, the FAQ (credits deducted only on successful responses, refund policy, real-time uncached results, country/language location targeting) and the 2,500 free queries offer. Read from the served HTML because the page is JS-heavy.
