> Pay-per-search rank tracker, bulk SERP scraper and SERP API

Checked Oct 23, 2026 · graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA.

OpenSerp is a web service with three products on one prepaid balance: a rank tracker for your domain and up to four competitors, bulk collection of search results from keyword files, and a live SERP API. It covers Google, Bing, Yahoo and Brave. There are no subscription plans; every check is billed per search.

- **Category:** Rank Trackers

- **Website:** https://openserp.dev

- **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026

## Pricing

OpenSerp's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Rank tracking on four engines:** Checks keywords every 3 hours, daily or weekly on Google, Bing, Yahoo and Brave, and stops paging once your domains are found.
- **Competitor tracking:** Follows up to 4 competitors per keyword, with head-to-head results, keyword gaps and rivals you had not named.
- **Plain-language reports:** Each report opens with what rose, what fell and who overtook you, then lists keywords close to the top 3 and pages stuck on page 2.
- **Cloud Scraping:** Upload a TXT or CSV keyword file of up to 50 MB and get deduplicated, filtered URLs, titles and snippets back as TXT, CSV or JSON.
- **SERP API:** One request returns one page of results as JSON from any of the four engines, with idempotent retries and no OpenSerp branding.

## Good for

- Site owners who want to pay only for the rank checks they run
- Tracking Bing, Yahoo or Brave positions alongside Google
- Researchers and developers who need search results in bulk or by API

## Worth knowing

- There are no plans: rank checks cost $0.0005 per results page from a prepaid balance; OpenSerp puts 250 keywords checked daily on Google at about $3.75 a month.
- Bulk scraping costs $0.0001 per successful query and the SERP API $0.0005 per call; top-up amounts are only shown after signing in.
- Unused balance expires after 12 months without paid usage, and refunds cover card top-ups only within 24 hours, with under 10% used.
- It does not yet track local packs or AI Overviews, and traffic estimates need search volumes imported from Keyword Planner, Ahrefs or Semrush.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** No 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing 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.
- **Features: C.** Checks 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web 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.

- It stands best on value for money (A, above 33 of 39) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
