Oxylabs Alternative
The simpler Oxylabs alternative
Oxylabs is a powerful enterprise web data platform — and often more than a team needs for search data. Searlo gives you structured Google SERP results from one endpoint at $0.30 per 1,000 queries, no sales call required.
{ "searchTime": 0.17, "totalResults": 85000, "page": 1, "organic": [ { "position": 1, "title": "31.10. Connection Pools and Data Sources", "link": "www.postgresql.org/docs/…", "domain": "postgresql.org", "snippet": "For an environment without an application se…" }, { "position": 2, "domain": "medium.com", … }, { "position": 3, "domain": "stackoverflow.blog", … } ], "credits": 1}Oxylabs targets large enterprises with a broad set of data products and custom contracts. If your actual need is 'give me Google's results for these keywords as clean data,' that platform is heavy: setup, parsing, and often a sales process before you write code.
Searlo is built narrowly for search-results delivery. One keyed GET request returns the organic SERP with positions and rich metadata — already parsed. Pricing is public and per-query at $0.30 per 1,000, and you can start with 3,000 free credits today.
Searlo also scrapes, crawls and maps arbitrary sites directly — /scrape, /crawl and /map sit under the same key and the same public per-query rate, with no sales call to reach a scraping-quality general-purpose engine either.
Features
Parsed SERP, not raw HTML
Structured organic results and SERP features — no parser to maintain.
Public per-query pricing
$0.30 per 1,000 queries, no enterprise minimums or contracts.
Synchronous calls
One request returns the parsed SERP instead of a scraping job to manage. Web search median is about 1 second (p90 about 2.5 s, measured September 2026).
Self-serve onboarding
Sign up, grab a key, and ship — no sales process required.
Get started in one request
Where Oxylabs needs setup and parsing, Searlo is one request:
curl "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=wireless%20earbuds&num=10" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"import requests
r = requests.get(
"https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web",
params={"q": "wireless earbuds", "num": 10},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
results = r.json()["organic"]
for o in results:
print(o["position"], o["domain"], o["title"])const res = await fetch(
"https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=" +
encodeURIComponent("wireless earbuds") + "&num=10",
{ headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } },
);
const { organic } = await res.json();
organic.forEach(o =>
console.log(o.position, o.domain, o.title));Searlo vs Oxylabs
For pure search-results needs, the lighter option usually wins.

When Searlo is the better fit
Choose Searlo when your job is search-results data and you value speed of integration and predictable cost over a full scraping platform. You avoid HTML parsing and enterprise procurement, and you get a response that already contains positions and SERP features.
Choose a platform like Oxylabs when you genuinely need broad, non-search web data at enterprise scale.
- One request, one parsed response
- No HTML parsing to maintain
- Public, per-query pricing
Scraping without a sales call
Oxylabs' Web Scraper API starts from $0.25 per 1,000 successful results, which is a genuinely competitive headline rate — and it comes with a 2,000-result trial rather than a lasting free tier, and the enterprise procurement path Oxylabs is built around.
Searlo's /scrape, /crawl and /map are self-serve from the first request: sign up, get a key, and the same $0.30 per 1,000 rate applies whether you're fetching ten pages or ten thousand (from November 1, 2026, a page that has to be rendered costs 5 credits), with 3,000 free credits (valid for one year) and no sales conversation.
- Oxylabs: from $0.25/1,000 successful results, pay-per-result, 2,000-result trial only
- Searlo: $0.30/1,000 ($1.50 for pages that need a browser, from Nov 1, 2026), 3,000 free credits, no card and no sales call
- Searlo /map: one call lists every URL a site publishes, before you spend crawl credits fetching content page by page
Good reasons to switch
- You only need search results, not a scraping suite
- You want self-serve pricing and onboarding
- You want web search back in about a second
- You want parsed SERP features out of the box
- You need predictable per-query cost
- You want to start today with free credits
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Searlo a full Oxylabs replacement?
For search-results use cases, yes — it returns parsed Google SERP data via one endpoint. For broad enterprise web data needs, Oxylabs covers more ground.
How does pricing compare?
Searlo is public and per-query at $0.30 per 1,000, with no enterprise minimums. Oxylabs pricing is typically custom and enterprise-oriented.
Do I need to maintain anything?
No. You call an endpoint and get structured data, with no parser to maintain.
What data do I get back?
Organic results with positions, titles, snippets, domains, and favicons in a stable JSON schema.
Can I start for free?
Yes — 3,000 free credits, no sales call needed.
Does Searlo scrape and crawl sites the way Oxylabs' Web Scraper API does?
Yes. POST /scrape returns any URL as markdown, HTML, links and tables; POST /crawl walks a whole site as a job with a webhook on completion; POST /map lists a site's published URLs. All three are self-serve at $0.30 per 1,000 (from November 1, 2026, $1.50 for scraped or crawled pages that need a browser) — no 2,000-result trial cap and no sales process.
