Source: https://scavio.dev/pricing ## Key features - **Google Search API:** Returns organic results, ads, the knowledge graph, AI Overview, related questions and more, by device, country, language and Google domain. - **Custom Search compatible endpoint:** A drop-in endpoint takes the same parameters and returns the same items list as Google's Custom Search JSON API, for moving existing code. - **Other Google surfaces:** Separate endpoints for Google Maps, News, Shopping, Flights and Hotels. - **Social, shopping and travel sites:** YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Zillow, Airbnb, Booking.com, Yelp, Indeed and more on the same key. - **Agent frameworks and MCP:** Integrations for MCP, LangChain, OpenAI Agents, Vercel AI SDK, CrewAI, Google ADK, Pydantic AI, Composio and n8n, plus Python and JavaScript SDKs. ## Good for - AI agents that need Google results and social data from one API - Teams moving off Google's Custom Search JSON API - Scheduled monitoring of prices, creators or rankings ## Worth knowing - A Google search costs 1 credit; heavier requests, such as a Reddit post with its full comment tree, cost 2. - The 50 free credits are a one-time allowance and do not renew. - Plan credits refresh monthly and do not roll over, even on yearly billing. - Yearly plans can only be downgraded or cancelled at the end of the year paid for. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. Scavio returns Google Search, AI Overview included, plus Maps, News, Shopping, Flights, Hotels and sites such as YouTube, Reddit and Amazon as JSON at 1 credit a search. Per search it sits at the dear end of this category, credits don't roll over even on yearly billing, and Google is the only search engine it lists. - **Value for money: C.** Project is $24 a month on yearly billing, $30 monthly, between this category's cheaper quarter and its middle, for 7,000 credits. At 1 credit a search that's about $3.43 per 1,000, the dear end of the $1 to $4 rivals charge. Pay as you go is $0.01 a credit. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan: 50 credits on sign-up with no card, once. That's 50 Google searches, a test and nothing more. - **Features: C.** Google Search with ads, the knowledge graph and AI Overview by device, country, language and domain, plus Maps, News, Shopping, Flights, Hotels, a Custom Search drop-in, and social and shopping sites. For search, though, Google is the only engine in the listing. - **Ease of use: C.** Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: Python and JavaScript SDKs and an endpoint that copies Google's Custom Search JSON API. No rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an API, SDKs and MCP, plus LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, Vercel AI SDK, CrewAI, Google ADK, Pydantic AI, Composio and n8n.

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: 23 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. It costs $288 a year. - You could not: Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. - You could not: It plugs into other products, LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK and Vercel AI SDK among them, and has an API.
