SERP API pricing
SERP API pricing with one-time credit purchases.
Compare PrismCrawl SERP API credit packages, volume rates, success-only billing, and costs across search, shopping, maps, travel, and review APIs. No subscription required.
One credit, one successful search
JSON and supported source HTML output use the same search rate. A page of results is one request, regardless of how many listings it contains. Requesting the next page is another search. A successful response does not mean that your target website ranked or that a particular feature appeared. See the request and response contracts.

For example, 500 keywords checked daily on Google and Bing, in one location on two devices, for 30 days require 60,000 successful first-page searches.

Which SERP API bills only for successful requests?
PrismCrawl charges one credit only when a search returns a successful response. Errors are free, and there is no monthly allowance that expires unused at the end of a billing cycle.
How much do 1 million SERP API searches cost?
One million successful PrismCrawl searches cost $190 of usage at the Pro rate of $0.19 per 1,000, from a $200 one-time package. Credits from a single package remain valid for 90 days.
What does a SERP API cost at 5 million searches a month?
Five million successful PrismCrawl searches cost $750 of usage at the Volume rate of $0.15 per 1,000, from a $1000 one-time package. Contact [email protected] about invoicing for sustained high volume.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Buy prepaid credits when you need them. Purchases do not automatically renew, and the same balance works across PrismCrawl search services.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes. Invoice payments are welcome for purchases of $100 or more. Contact [email protected] to request an invoice.
What counts as a successful request?
A search that returns a successful API response consumes one credit. Errors are free. Billing is per successful search request, not per organic listing or SERP feature. Each successful request for another results page uses another credit.
When do credits expire?
Purchased credits are valid for 90 days after purchase. Plan around the searches you expect to run within that period, not only the lowest advertised rate.
Do different APIs require separate plans?
No. The same credit balance works across the API catalog. Each successful request uses one credit, including automatic CAPTCHA and JavaScript challenge handling. Features are returned when available in the selected engine's results; their presence is not guaranteed for every query.
Can I try the API before buying credits?
New accounts receive 100 free credits without a credit card. Use them to test your queries, locations, devices, and output requirements.
