- AI parsing costs $3 per 1,000 parsed pages on every plan.
- Prices exclude VAT and other sales taxes, which are added where required.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Oxylabs' SERP scraper collects Google, Bing, Baidu and Yandex results and AI answers, billed per result from one monthly subscription that covers every Oxylabs product. It averages under 10 seconds a result, pages that come back with a 4xx error are still billed, and AI parsing costs extra.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter is $30 a month, inside this category's usual range, for about 22,000 rendered Google results at $1.35 per 1,000. That money is shared with every other Oxylabs product you use, and VAT may be added.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan: $5 of welcome credits toward any Oxylabs product, and then it's $30 a month.
- **Features: B.** Google, Bing, Baidu and Yandex, with Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Lens and local results, answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, targeting down to coordinates, a scheduler and cloud delivery. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job.
- **Ease of use: C.** Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: parsed JSON for common Google pages and OxyCopilot, which writes requests and parsing rules for you. No rating on record, and other pages need a custom parser.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an API, an MCP server and delivery straight to a cloud storage bucket. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Oxylabs SERP Scraper API 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. It costs $360 a year.

- You could not: Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, MCP among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
