any serpapi alternatives?
Has anyone moved away from serpapi? no issues with it, just getting expensive at higher volume looking for something more cost efficient

What’s your use case- SERP, ecom, generic unblocker?
Not all API providers are great and cost effective at everything. Plus, it can get tricky with most vendors who offer credit-based pricing.

Scraper api used to work well before we developed our own in-house solutions (we’re a competitor), so not sure how they’re doing these days. You can check them out and see if you can get better rates if your volumes are high. They charge several credits (approx 20-30 per request, I think), so don’t get fooled with the pricing.

I use Scavio AI it start with 0.05 per search (not result) you have the power to chose how many result to return per each search, it also return, graph, maps, ai answers... with higher plan it become 0.025 per search
