Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 5 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about OpenSerp, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Nothing to install, but you fund a balance, set engines, frequency and competitors, and bring your own search volumes for traffic estimates.
- 1
Best for pay-per-check tracking on Google, Bing, Yahoo and Brave
Nothing is free, top-up amounts only show after you sign in, and it doesn't track local packs or AI Overviews yet.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
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.
- 4
Competitor tracking
Follows up to 4 competitors per keyword, with head-to-head results, keyword gaps and rivals you had not named.
- 5
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.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 5 of 39
That is against the other rank trackers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who OpenSerp is for
- Fits if you want to pay only for the rank checks you run, with no subscription

Who it 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

Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
OpenSerp's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
Keywords past page one cost more, as each extra page is billed.
We could not confirm OpenSerp’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. openserp.dev has them.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
5/39
Other rank trackers it is graded above
OpenSerp's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 5 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade, and level with 3.
It stands best on value for money (A, above 33 of 39) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 40 rank trackers we grade, cut by the letter each got. OpenSerp’s own letter is outlined.
- AValue for moneyAbove 33 of 39
- FFree plan and trialAbove 0 of 39
- CFeaturesAbove 3 of 39
- CEase of useAbove 2 of 39
- CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 1 of 39
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
