SerpResult as a Serper alternative
SerpResult returns the ranked organic results of Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave and Yandex as JSON, from 193 countries, for $1.80 per 1,000 searches on the entry plan. Serper is the established option; here is where the two differ, with Serper's numbers taken from its own pricing page on 2026-09-18.
| SerpResult | Serper | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Monthly plan from $9, plus prepaid credit packs that never expire | Prepaid credits, valid for 6 months |
| Entry plan | Starter, $9 for 5,000 searches | 50,000 credits for $50 |
| Price per 1,000 at entry | $1.80 | $1.00 |
| Lowest price per 1,000 | $0.60 credit packs on Business | $0.30 at 12.5M credits ($3,750) |
| Free tier | 100 searches once, no card | 2,500 queries once |
| Search engines | Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave, Yandex | Google only, across web, images, news, maps, places, videos, shopping, scholar, patents |
| Countries | 193, resolved from inside the country | Varies by engine |
| Response | Ranked organic results only: position, title, url, domain, snippet. One shape for every engine | Google SERP with knowledge graph, People Also Ask, related searches |
| Failed searches | Bad parameters cost nothing; an upstream failure after the fetch ran is charged | Not billed |
| Bulk | POST /v1/bulk, 50 searches per request, one credit each | See vendor docs |

When SerpResult is the better fit
- You read the organic list, the URLs and their order, and nothing else.
- You want a monthly plan under $10 instead of a large prepaid block or a $25 entry.
- You search more than one engine and want one parser for all of them.
- You need a specific country's ranking, resolved from inside that country.
- An AI agent runs the searches and you want a hosted MCP server to point it at.
When Serper is
You only need Google and you can prepay a large block up front to reach the low per-query rate.
SerpResult never returns ads, shopping results or knowledge panels. If those are the data you need, SerpResult is not the right tool, and the docs say so up front.
FAQ
Switching questions
Is SerpResult a good Serper alternative?
If you need the ranked organic results and not every SERP feature, yes. SerpResult costs $1.80 per 1,000 searches on its entry plan against $1.00 for Serper, covers six engines behind one response shape, and its credit packs never expire. If you need what Serper does differently, you only need Google and you can prepay a large block up front to reach the low per-query rate.
How do I migrate from Serper to SerpResult?
Create an account, mint an sk_live key, and call GET /v1/query with query, target and geo. The organic array carries position, title, url, domain and snippet, so a rank tracker or RAG pipeline that reads links out of a SERP maps in a few lines. The first 100 searches are free, which is enough to run your own side-by-side.
Does SerpResult return the same results as Serper?
Both read the live results page of the engine you ask for from the country you name, so the ranked organic URLs match closely for the same query at the same moment. Differences come from personalisation, the exact exit location and the time between the two calls, not from the API.
Can I buy SerpResult through a marketplace?
Yes. The same plans and prices are listed on RapidAPI at https://rapidapi.com/team-1rJ64ZBO_/api/serpresult.
