# About SerpWiz SerpWiz is a real-time search API. It returns live Google Search and Google Maps results as clean JSON for developers, SEO teams and AI agent builders, at a flat $0.15 per 1,000 queries ($0.11 with a year prepaid). ## Why we built SerpWiz We're a team of veteran SaaS developers. For years, search data was one of the biggest line items on our own products' bills: SERP providers charging several dollars per 1,000 searches, monthly quotas that reset before we could use them, and per-credit multipliers that made one search cost twenty-five. We got tired of paying that markup for data that's public to anyone with a browser. So we built the infrastructure ourselves, from the ground up: our own fetching, parsing and scaling, with no reseller in the middle. Owning the whole stack is what makes $0.15 per 1,000 possible. We pass those savings straight on to developers instead of keeping them. ## What we believe - **Data should be accessible, not a luxury.** Search results are public. Getting them at scale shouldn't be something only well-funded companies can afford. A solo developer, a student project and an enterprise team pay the same rate per query. - **Fair pricing is simple pricing.** One flat rate on every plan, at every volume. No tiers that only get cheap at a million searches, no hidden credit multipliers, no surprise overages. - **You pay for results, not attempts.** Failed requests, timeouts and rate-limited calls are free. If we can't deliver, you don't pay. - **What you buy, you keep.** Queries are valid for 12 months and roll over. Your price is locked in for as long as your plan stays active. ## What SerpWiz does ### Google Search results Organic results, ads, top stories, the knowledge panel, People Also Ask and related searches, for any country and language, as typed JSON. ### Google Maps places Up to 20 places per call with names, categories, addresses, coordinates, ratings, review counts, phone numbers, websites and opening hours. Optional place details, reviews and popular times. ### MCP server for AI agents Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to the hosted server, and your agent can search Google and Google Maps with the same key and at the same price. ### Playground, logs and status Build and run requests in the browser, see every request you've made with its latency and cost, and check live uptime on the public status page. ## What makes SerpWiz different ### $0.15 per 1,000 at any volume SerpApi's entry plan is $25/mo ยท 1,000 searches. SerpWiz charges the same $0.15 per 1,000 whether you send 10,000 queries a month or 10 million, and $0.11 on annual plans. ### One query per request Every successful request costs one query, whichever page, country or device you ask for. No credit multipliers. ### Throughput you can plan around Your rate limit is simple: every $10/mo of plan is 1 request per second, shared across all your keys, with no hourly or daily caps. ### Queries that roll over Unused queries don't vanish at the end of the month. Every purchase is valid for 12 months. ### 1,000 free queries every month Verify your email and start making requests. No card required. ## How SerpWiz works ### Getting a key Sign up with your email, verify it, and create an API key. You get 1,000 free queries every month. Paid plans start at $10/mo. ### Making requests Send a GET request with your key in the X-API-Key header and read the JSON response. The docs cover every parameter, and the Playground writes the call in cURL, Python, JavaScript or PHP. ### Tracking usage The dashboard shows requests, success rate, latency and queries charged, plus a searchable log of every request. Every response also reports its cost in the X-Credits-Charged header. ### Support Open a ticket from your dashboard, or email support@serpwiz.com. ## Who uses SerpWiz - Developers replacing SerpApi, Serper or Google's Custom Search JSON API in an existing product - SEO teams tracking rankings, SERP features and competitors across countries - AI agent builders who need live search and maps data through MCP or a REST call - Sales and market research teams building lead lists from Google Maps - Startups and indie developers who need search data without enterprise prices ## Key facts | | | |---|---| | Company | SerpWiz | | Type | Real-time search API (SERP API) | | Founded | 2026 | | Website | serpwiz.com | | Endpoints | Google Search (/v1/google/search), Google Maps (/v1/google/maps) | | Pricing | $0.15 per 1,000 queries on monthly plans, $0.11 on annual plans; 1,000 free queries per month | | Billing | Monthly or annual plans; price locked while your plan is active; queries valid 12 months | | Integrations | REST API, OpenAPI 3.1 spec, hosted MCP server, llms.txt | | Support | support@serpwiz.com | | Competitors | SerpApi, ScraperAPI, SearchApi, Zenserp, DataForSEO, Bright Data, Serper, Scrapingdog | | Social | github.com/serpwiz | ## Frequently asked questions ### What is SerpWiz?
