Low-cost Google results API from Traject Data, now part of ScraperAPI
VALUE SERP report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for Google results paid as you go
VALUE SERP is Traject Data's lower-cost Google API, sold as $25 of pay-as-you-go requests or as monthly plans, with scheduled batches sent to cloud storage. It covers Google only, and ScraperAPI, which bought Traject Data, says it is moving the API onto its own infrastructure.
Who VALUE SERP is for
- Fits if you only need Google and want to pay $25 at a time rather than monthly
- Works for scheduled ranking snapshots dropped into S3 or Google Cloud Storage
Who VALUE SERP is not for
- Skip it if you need Bing or other engines, which Traject Data sells as SerpWow
- Watch out: ScraperAPI bought Traject Data and says it is moving Traject's APIs onto its own infrastructure
- Tight if you go past a monthly plan, as extra requests cost from $1.60 per 1,000
- Not for you if you want a free plan that renews, as the 100 searches come once
Why VALUE SERP gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$25 buys 10,000 requests to use as you go, $2.50 per 1,000, inside this category's cheaper quarter. Monthly plans start at $50 for 25,000 searches on yearly billing ($56 monthly).
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan: 100 free searches on sign-up with no card, and then it's a $25 top-up.
- CFeaturesGoogle Search, Maps places, Shopping, News, product details and place reviews, with location and device targeting and batches of up to 15,000. Google only, though: the listing points to SerpWow for other engines.
- CEase of useJudged on how fast a developer gets a first result: a Locations API to look up places, and batches that run on a schedule. No rating on record, and no client libraries named.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with an API and batch delivery to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage and Alibaba Cloud OSS. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

Keep VALUE SERP, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace VALUE SERP 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 $25, paid once.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- It plugs into other products, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. VALUE SERP’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.
