What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 1 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade
Zenserp is an API that returns live search results as JSON or Markdown: Google web, image, maps, news, shopping, trends, reverse image and YouTube results, plus Bing, Yandex and DuckDuckGo on paid plans. Paid plans also return Google AI Overviews, and from the Medium plan answers from AI engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, and keyword volume with CPC. Plans are monthly allowances of searches.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Zenserp, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, and no client libraries named.

The report card
Best for Google plus Bing and DuckDuckGo on a monthly plan
Zenserp returns Google, Bing, Yandex and DuckDuckGo results, with Google AI Overviews on paid plans, as monthly allowances of searches. The cheapest plan is $49.99, each AI Overview uses 3 searches, and batches, AI answer engines and keyword data only start at $149.99 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Small is $49.99 a month for 25,000 searches, $2 per 1,000, at the dear end of this category's usual range. AI answer engines, keyword volume and the batch endpoint wait for Medium at $149.99. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan for good, but 50 searches a month, Google Search only. Other engines, result types and AI Overviews all need a paid plan. |
| Features | C | Google with images, maps, news, shopping and trends, plus Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo and AI Overviews on paid plans. The gaps are in the listing: no batch endpoint, AI answer engines or keyword volume below $149.99 a month. |
| Ease of use | C | Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: JSON or Markdown back, and usage emails at 90% and 100%. No rating on record, and no client libraries named. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with a REST API and no client libraries or integrations named in the listing. No desktop or phone app. |
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.

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 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.
