OpenSerp report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for pay-per-check tracking on Google, Bing, Yahoo and Brave
OpenSerp tracks your rankings on Google, Bing, Yahoo and Brave against up to four competitors, billed per results page from a prepaid balance that also pays for bulk scraping and a SERP API. Nothing is free, top-up amounts only show after you sign in, and it doesn't track local packs or AI Overviews yet.
Who OpenSerp is for
- Fits if you want to pay only for the rank checks you run, with no subscription
- Works for people who need Bing, Yahoo or Brave positions next to Google
Who OpenSerp is not for
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan, trial or starting credit
- Skip it if local packs or AI Overviews matter to you, as it doesn't track them yet
- Watch out: top-up amounts only show after signing in, and unused balance expires after 12 months without paid usage
- Tight if you might want money back, as refunds cover card top-ups only within 24 hours and with under 10% used
- Watch out: traffic estimates need search volumes you import from Keyword Planner, Ahrefs or Semrush
Why OpenSerp gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyNo plans, just $0.0005 per results page from a prepaid balance. OpenSerp puts 250 keywords checked daily on Google at about $3.75 a month, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter ($10). Keywords past page one cost more, as each extra page is billed.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free on record: no free plan, trial or sign-up credit. Every check draws on a balance you fund first, and refunds cover card top-ups only within 24 hours with under 10% used.
- CFeaturesChecks every 3 hours, daily or weekly on four engines, up to 4 competitors per keyword, plain-language reports, bulk scraping and a SERP API. The gaps it lists: no local pack or AI Overview tracking yet, and traffic estimates need volumes you import.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Nothing to install, but you fund a balance, set engines, frequency and competitors, and bring your own search volumes for traffic estimates.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Its API is a separate product that returns search results, and the only other links on record are search volumes imported from Keyword Planner, Ahrefs or Semrush.

Keep OpenSerp, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace OpenSerp you would be making search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 39 other rank trackers grade higher.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
What this rests on. OpenSerp’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
