Keep Zenserp, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Zenserp 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: 32 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. It costs $599.88 a year.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Zenserp’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.
