SERP verticals
What this board tests: google serp verticals (web, news, images, places, scholar) as structured json. Every provider below ran the identical corpus on 2026-09-14. The composite blends measured quality, latency p50, the track-specific cost metric and error rate. Method and corpora: how we measure.

Low scores are published alongside high ones — a ranking you can only trust if nothing gets hidden. No per-call markup, no commission from any provider. Cost figures are priced by the 2026-09-14 run's own table; the price the gateway bills today is on each provider page.
