Common questions

Which SERP and SEO data APIs give the most for the money?

SerpBase. Each is the highest-scoring tool at its price or below: SerpBase scores 2.7 out of 4 and starts at $3 a month. This goes by ToolGPA's own grades for features, ease of use and platforms, averaged out of 4, set against the price each tool's paid plans start at.

Which SERP and SEO data APIs are best for under $20 a month?

Which SERP and SEO data APIs cost the most for what they offer?

On this chart, Zenserp (starts at $49.99 a month, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 16 tools score higher for less), Scrape.do (starts at $29 a month, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 9 tools score higher for less) and WebScrapingAPI (starts at $28 a month, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 9 tools score higher for less). A high starting price often means a product is sold to companies and has no small plan, so check what the price includes before ruling one out.

How much do SERP and SEO data APIs cost?

The middle starting price is $29.49 a month: half of the 26 SERP and SEO data APIs with a recurring price start below that and half above. 0 of the 39 in this directory have no paid plan, and 14 of those that charge also have a free plan.

How is the score on this chart worked out?

It is the average of three of the five grades ToolGPA gives every tool: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations, with an A worth 4 and an F worth 0. The other two grades, value for money and the free plan, are about price, so they are left out and price gets an axis of its own. 26 of the 39 SERP and SEO data APIs are on the chart; 13 are left off because they are sold for a single payment or publish no price that can be put as dollars a month.

How this chart is made

  • The score is the average of three of a tool’s five grades: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations. An A is 4 points and an F none. Value for money and the free plan are left out because they are about price, and price has an axis of its own.
  • The price is what paid plans start at, in dollars a month, on the cheapest way of paying the listing names. A yearly price is divided by twelve, and a price in another currency is converted. A price for each person is shown for one person.
  • A tool with no paid plan sits in the band marked Free. A tool with a free plan beside paid ones is placed at its paid price and drawn as a filled dot.
  • The grades are ToolGPA’s own judgement from each vendor’s pages and from public reviews and our own testing, and no vendor can pay for one. How we grade
