In this blog I will be investigating where you can find the breakdown of SerpApi’s subscription plans, the plans that SerpApi has to offer on these pages and the makeup of each plan.

Please always refer to this page for tha current price https://serpapi.com/pricing

On the main page of SerpApi, we can find a few of the lower use case plans and some of their attributes:

SerpApi: Google Search API
SerpApi is a real-time API to access Google search results. We handle proxies, solve captchas, and parse all rich structured data for you.
SerpApi
  • Developer: $75/month for 5,000 successful searches per month
  • Production: $150/month for 15,000 successful searches per month with Legal US Shield
  • Big Data: $275/month for 30,000 successful searches per month with Legal US Shield and a Medium Throughput

First off, what is the Legal US Shield? It is best to be interpreted with legal counsel if you are a commercial user, but it basically states that:

SerpApi will assume liability of scraping and parsing search engine results for both domestic and foreign companies (— “Legal US Shield” —) unless your usage is otherwise illegal.

You can read more about our Terms of Service and what is in included in the Legal US Shield here.

Higher volume plan

We also offer plans higher than the Big Data (30,000 searches). First, you. need to log in to your account and access this page: https://serpapi.com/change-plan

You can find our higher volumes plan up to 54M Cloud Plan. If you need more than 54 Million searches per month, you can always reach out to us via contact@serpapi.com

Enterprise Plan

We also provide an Enterprise Plan for customers who need a custom vendor contract, Enterprise support, and 99.97% SLAs.

Our Enterprise plans start at $3,750 per month and include 100,000 successful searches (or 50,000 successful Ludicrous Speed searches) per month. For additional monthly searches, we offer the following flexible pricing models:

  • Reserved searches: You must commit to a specific number of searches per month; while unused search credits don’t roll over from month to month, you can increase (or decrease) the number of Reserved searches purchased monthly. We charge $2.75 ($5.50 with Ludicrous Speed, or $11.00 with Ludicrous Speed Max) per 1,000 reserved searches.
  • On-demand searches: You don't have to commit in advance to a specific number of searches, you pay only for what you've used at the end of the monthly billing period. We charge $7.50 ($15.00 with Ludicrous Speed, or $30.00 with Ludicrous Speed Max) per 1,000 on-demand searches.

Ludicrous Speed and Ludicrous Speed Max

If your app is a customer-facing app, you probably need to return the data instantly. For these cases, we provide an option to make the response time for the API much faster.

First, we have the Ludicrous Speed mode. Roughly, it's 2.2x faster than the regular (best effort) speed.

For the best performance, we also provide the Ludicrous Speed Max, which on average is 9.6% faster than the Ludicrous Speed.
