SerpBase review
Low-cost Google and Maps API access with broad SERP coverage and JSON output.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SerpBase is a developer-focused API for retrieving structured Google Search, Images, News, Videos, Maps Search, and Maps Detail data. It is suited to SEO rank tracking, market and competitor research, local search data, product intelligence, and applications that need programmatic access to Google results. Authenticated POST endpoints return JSON, while country, language, map-coordinate, and zoom parameters support localized and geographically targeted requests.
Pricing is designed for both recurring and usage-based needs. Starter Boost costs $3 per month and includes full API access, 10,000 searches, and credits valid during each billing month. The one-time plans—Starter at $10, Growth at $50, Pro at $200, Business at $500, and Enterprise at $1,000—also provide full API access, with standard credits that have no calendar expiry. New accounts can receive 100 free searches without a credit card, while the published plans show no permanent free tier. This structure fits projects that want a low monthly entry point or prefer to purchase credits once.
The feature set extends beyond standard organic results. SerpBase includes Google Images, News, Videos, Maps Search, and Maps Detail using feature IDs, plus country and language localization and coordinate- and zoom-based Maps targeting. Automatic session rotation and CAPTCHA recovery address operational requirements for automated retrieval. An MCP server and portable agent skill broaden its fit for agent-based workflows, alongside direct web and API access. SerpBase is a strong choice when Google-focused SERP and Maps data, JSON output, and low starting cost matter most. Teams needing multi-engine coverage should choose an alternative aligned with that requirement.
