Which one is for you
Pick HasData if
- Fits if you're building a rank tracker or SEO dashboard on Google data only
- Works for watching which sites Google AI Overviews cite for the queries you pick
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Bing, Yahoo or any engine other than Google
- Tight if you're on Free, with 100 full SERP calls a month at 5 requests at a time
- Watch out: the plan prices shown are yearly and charged up front, and monthly billing costs about a fifth more
- Watch out: a SERP call costs 10 credits against 1 for a plain page fetch, so credit totals overstate searches
Pick Serper if
- Fits if you only need Google and would rather pay per query than per month
- Works for AI agents on LangChain or CrewAI that need current Google results
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Bing, Yahoo or any engine other than Google
- Watch out: credits expire 6 months after purchase, so a big pack you don't use up is money lost
- Tight if you're testing, as the 2,500 free queries come once and there's no monthly free plan
- Watch out: refunds run 7 days from the first payment, and only with under 20% of the credits used

Worth knowing
HasData
- A Google SERP API call costs 10 credits and a Light or Rank Checker call 5, against 1 credit for a plain page fetch.
- The free plan covers only 100 full SERP calls a month at 5 concurrent requests.
- The displayed plan prices are for yearly billing, charged up front; monthly billing costs about a fifth more.
- Failed requests have their credits returned, and plans can be changed or cancelled from the dashboard.
Serper
- Its site lists Google endpoints only, with no Bing, Yahoo or other search engines.
- Credits expire 6 months after purchase, so a large pack bought for a lower rate can go unused.
- Refunds are given within 7 days of the first payment only if less than 20% of the credits are used.
- The 2,500 free queries are a one-time allowance, not a monthly free plan.

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.
