Notice ·
Pricing may change during November–December 2026
What it costs us to serve some requests changes at the turn of the year, so we may adjust prices during November and December 2026. Any change is announced in advance on the changelog and by email. Credits you have already bought keep working, and packs stay valid for 12 months from purchase.
- Full SERP, from
GET /serp,/serp/batchand async SERP tasks stay at 3 credits a page, or 8 when the AI Overview had to be completed by rendering the page in a browser. The response saysaioverview.rendered: truewhen that happened. Withaioverview=false, or when the overview arrives complete, a page stays 3. SERP features stays 3; SERP HTML stays 2 (8 withjs=true).- Web data, from
- On scrape, webpage fetch, extract, search-and-scrape, crawl and batch scrape, a page that had to be rendered costs 5 credits instead of 1:
render: true, actions, or automatic rendering when a plain fetch returns no usable content, such as a JavaScript-only page. Pages fetched without rendering stay 1. Responses sayvia: "browser"orvia: "http". A cached copy costs the same as the page it copies, failed fetches are never charged, and the forced live-fetch surcharge still applies on top. - In effect now: accounts that have not bought credits yet
- Every endpoint works on the sign-up credits. Pages are not rendered in a browser automatically (pass
render: trueto render one), and web searches that come back with few results are not topped up with live results. Both switch on with the first purchase.
Credit packs
Six packs, one rate each
Web search costs one credit per successful call. Other endpoints are priced in credits too; the API reference lists the cost of each. The rate per 1,000 credits falls as the pack grows. Every pack, and the free credits, share the same rate limits.

Published rates
How we compare
Searlo is the lowest published list rate of the eight providers below, and the only one of them sold as a one-time pack rather than a subscription.
| Provider | Per 1,000 | Free | Entry price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Searlo | $0.30 | 3,000 | $3.99 |
| SerpAPI | $15.00 | 250/month | $25/mo |
| Tavily | $8.00 | 1,000/month | Pay-as-you-go |
| Google Custom Search | $5.00 | 100/day | $5/1K queries |
| SearchAPI | $4.00 | 100 | $40/mo |
| ScrapingDog | $2.00 | 1,000 | $30/mo |
| DataForSEO | $0.60 (queue) / $2.00 (live) | None | $50 minimum payment |
| Serpernot vendor-verified | $1.00 | 2,500 | $50 prepaid (50,000 credits) |
| Third-party prices last verified against each vendor’s own pricing page. Serper publishes no public pricing page, so its rate is what third-party trackers report. DataForSEO is priced per queue — the slower queue is cheaper. Prices change; if one of these is stale, tell us and we will correct it. | |||
| Provider | Credits expire? | Model |

| Serper | Monthly | Subscription |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do credits expire?
Credits are valid for one year from purchase; buying again extends all your active credits. The free credits you get at sign-up follow the same rule. Accounts created before May 15, 2026 keep unlimited credits.
Will prices change?
What it costs us to serve some requests changes at the turn of the year, so we may adjust prices during November and December 2026. Any change is announced in advance on the changelog and by email. Credits you have already bought keep working, and packs stay valid for 12 months from purchase. Two changes are already set for November 1, 2026: a full-SERP page whose AI Overview had to be completed by rendering the page in a browser costs 8 credits instead of 3, and a scraped, crawled or extracted page that had to be rendered costs 5 credits instead of 1.
Are there any subscriptions or recurring charges?
No. Searlo uses a simple one-time purchase model. You buy a credit pack, use the credits at your own pace, and buy more when you need them. No recurring fees.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Your API will return a 402 status code. Simply purchase another credit pack to continue. We send email alerts when your balance is low.
How do I get the free credits?
Sign up for a free account and you'll automatically receive 3,000 credits. No credit card required.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through our payment partner Paddle.
Can I get a refund?
Credit purchases are non-refundable except where required by law. If you hit a billing error or a technical issue on our end, contact [email protected] and we'll look into it.
Do you offer custom enterprise pricing?
Yes! For volumes above 5 million credits or custom SLA requirements, contact our sales team at [email protected] for a tailored quote.
Where can I check your uptime?
Every API family is checked once a minute from a separate server. The live record, with uptime and incident history, is public at status.searlo.tech.
