The honest pitch
Reach for it if you're after SerpApi-compatible JSON, cheaper, and billed only per successful search.
The catch: since Sept-2025 the num parameter is silently capped at 10, so large Google result pages are out.
About SearchAPI.io
SearchAPI.io serves structured search results in real time, spanning Google, Bing, YouTube and 80-plus further engines behind one endpoint. Its pitch is value plus compatibility: responses come in the same shape the market leader uses, so existing integrations port over with little rework, while per-successful-search billing keeps spend predictable. For teams wanting wide coverage across engines and parsing they can count on at a non-premium price, it is a pragmatic pick.
