Google CSE Limitations

100 Free Queries/Day

Google CSE returns basic results only. No featured snippets, PAA boxes, or knowledge panels.
Complex Setup
You need to create a Custom Search Engine, configure it, get API keys from Google Cloud Console...
$5 per 1,000 Queries
At scale, Google CSE costs significantly more than alternatives like Searlo.
