Pricing
SerpAPI pricing: plans, prompts and engines
SerpAPI starts at $25 a month for Starter: 4 engines. Published plans run up to $1,475 a month (Volume). SerpAPI is a search results API, not a monitoring dashboard: you pay per search and build the tracking yourself. It has no ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude app endpoint.
Checked on SerpAPI's pricing page and documentation. Prices exclude tax.
