Why Searlo is the Cheapest Without Compromises
Cheap doesn't mean worse. Searlo includes features that cost extra everywhere else.
Pay-As-You-Go, No Subscriptions
No monthly minimum. No commitment. Buy credits when you need them and they never expire. Unlike SerpAPI's $75/month minimum, you pay $0 in months you don't use the API.
No Hidden Overages
Credits are deducted only for successful requests. Failed or rate-limited requests don't cost a credit. No surprise bills at the end of the month.
Volume Discounts Built In
Lower per-search cost automatically applies as your volume grows. No need to negotiate enterprise contracts — our pricing scales with your usage.
Free Tier Without Credit Card
Start with 3,000 free credits — no credit card required. That's 10x more than SerpAPI's free tier (100 searches/month) and more than Serper's one-time 2,500.
Everything included at $0.30/1K — no extras
Pricing FAQs
Is Searlo really the cheapest SERP API?
Yes. At $0.30/1,000 searches on a pay-as-you-go basis, Searlo is the cheapest production-grade Google SERP API available as of 2026. Serper is $1.00/1K, DataForSEO is $2.00/1K, and SerpAPI charges $15.00/1K on their entry-level plan. We're also the only provider that requires no credit card to start and offers PAYG with no monthly minimum.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees. You pay $0.30 per 1,000 successful requests. Credits are only deducted for successful API responses. Failed requests, network timeouts, and rate-limit errors are never charged. Credits never expire.
Do I need a monthly subscription?
No. Searlo uses a pure pay-as-you-go credit model. Buy credits as needed, use them at any pace. There's no monthly minimum, no subscription required, and credits don't expire. If you want volume discounts, larger credit packages are available.
How does the free tier compare to SerpAPI and Serper?
Searlo gives 3,000 free credits with no credit card required. SerpAPI gives 100 free searches per month (requires credit card after 100). Serper gives 2,500 one-time free searches. Searlo's free tier is the most generous and doesn't require payment information.
What's the quality difference vs SerpAPI at this price?
Same quality or better. Searlo returns real-time Google results with the same data types: organic results, featured snippets, PAA, local packs, images, news, shopping, and AI Overviews. We also include unique features SerpAPI doesn't have: TOON format (63% fewer tokens), AI Overview parsing, MCP protocol, and streaming.
Is there a bulk pricing or enterprise plan?
Yes. For volumes above 10M searches/month, contact us for custom enterprise pricing with volume discounts up to 70%, dedicated support, custom SLAs, and on-premise deployment options.
Can I use the free tier for production?
The free 3,000 credits are one-time and are great for development, testing, and proof-of-concept projects. For production, purchase a credit bundle. Our smallest paid package starts at $2.99.
