Works for teams that also need to scrape or crawl the pages that rank

Look elsewhere if

Watch out: /scrape uses the premium proxy pool unless told not to, at $1 per 1,000, or $1.50 with JavaScript
Tight if you need AI answers in bulk, as the ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Mode templates stay at $1 per 1,000

Pick Oxylabs SERP Scraper API if

Fits if you already pay Oxylabs for proxies and want search results from the same budget
Works for checking rankings at exact coordinates in many places

Pricey if you want AI parsing, at $3 per 1,000 parsed pages on every plan
Skip it if you need results in under a second, which takes the separate /Search endpoint at $1 per 1,000

Watch out: prices exclude VAT and other sales taxes, added where required

How this page was made

The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
