SerpApi pricing: what every plan costs
SerpApi pricing is a monthly subscription: $25 for 1,000 searches, up to $275 for 30,000. Here is every plan, and what the same searches cost as prepaid credits.
The current SerpApi plans
SerpApi publishes its prices, which already puts it ahead of half the data market. Numbers below are from serpapi.com/pricing, checked July 27, 2026.
| Plan | Monthly price | Searches / month | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 250 | $0 |
| Starter | $25 | 1,000 | $25.00 |
| Developer | $75 | 5,000 | $15.00 |
| Production | $150 | 15,000 | $10.00 |
| Big Data | $275 | 30,000 | $9.17 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Quoted |
Two details worth knowing before you subscribe. First, the allotment is monthly: your searches belong to that billing cycle. Second, when a busy month burns through the plan early, SerpApi's pricing FAQ points to Automatic Early Renewal, which starts a fresh billing cycle as soon as the searches run out. A traffic spike can turn one month into two charges.
What one search actually costs
Subscriptions hide the unit price, so here it is per 1,000 searches on each plan.
On Starter you pay $25.00 per 1,000. Developer brings it to $15.00, Production to $10.00, and Big Data to $9.17. The rate only improves by committing to a bigger month, every month. Prepaid credits price the same work at $1.96 per 1,000 on the $49 pack and keep falling with pack size, with no monthly commitment to maintain.
5,000 searches a month, both ways
A steady mid-size workload, priced over one year.

And the top result as JSON:
Subscription vs prepaid credits
Same Google results on both sides. The difference is how you buy them and what happens to what you do not use.
| SerpApi | CrustAPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Buy model | Monthly subscription | Prepaid credits, self-serve |
| Entry price | $25 / month for 1,000 | $49 once for 25,000 |
| Per 1,000 searches | $9.17 to $25.00 | $0.40 to $1.96 |
| Free tier | 250 searches / month | 3,000 credits / month |
| Unused volume | Belongs to the billing cycle | Credits never expire |
| Engines beyond Google | Dozens (Bing, Baidu, eBay, more) | Google only, done deeply |
| Ran out mid-month | Automatic Early Renewal | Top up any pack, or wait |
Pick SerpApi when you need engines beyond Google: it maintains parsers for dozens of search engines, includes its U.S. Legal Shield on every plan, and has years of production history. Maintaining Bing, Baidu, and eBay parsers costs real money, and their price reflects that scope. We only do Google, and the price reflects that too.
Prepaid credits, one flat meter
No plans to size, no cycles to watch. Buy a pack, spend it at your pace.
Every web search costs 1 credit, flat, no matter how many results come back, and a search that returns nothing costs nothing. Start free with 3,000 credits every month, no card. Paid packs are prepaid and self-serve: 25k for $49 · 100k for $149 · 500k for $549 · 2.5M for $1,999 · up to 250M, ex-tax. That is about $1.96 per 1,000 at the entry pack, falling to roughly $0.40 per 1,000 at the largest. Credits never expire.
