Which one is for you
Pick SERPHouse if
- Fits if you track client rankings in Google Sheets and want it done on a schedule
- Works for small monthly volumes across Google, Bing and Yahoo
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Bing or Yahoo ads, since ad results are Google only
- Watch out: the top 100 Google results cost ten times a standard search, $7.50 per 1,000 on Basic
- Not for you if you need No Trace, the mode that deletes responses and logs, which is Enterprise only
- Tight if you sign up with a personal email, as the free credits then last 7 days
- Watch out: there's no yearly price, and anything past Regular is a custom plan by email
Pick VALUE SERP if
- Fits if you only need Google and want to pay $25 at a time rather than monthly
- Works for scheduled ranking snapshots dropped into S3 or Google Cloud Storage
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Bing or other engines, which Traject Data sells as SerpWow
- Watch out: ScraperAPI bought Traject Data and says it is moving Traject's APIs onto its own infrastructure
- Tight if you go past a monthly plan, as extra requests cost from $1.60 per 1,000
- Not for you if you want a free plan that renews, as the 100 searches come once

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.
