Scraping API
ScrapeUnblocker vs SerpApi
SerpApi specializes in search-engine results: you send a query and get the results page back as structured JSON, across Google, Bing, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo!, Yandex, Naver and more. ScrapeUnblocker is a general scraping API with one search endpoint, /serpApi, which returns Google results as JSON. They overlap on Google search; beyond that, ScrapeUnblocker fetches any other page with the same key.
If you need results from many search engines, SerpApi covers far more of them; ScrapeUnblocker's /serpApi covers Google only. If a project needs Google results plus product pages, listings or reviews from other sites, ScrapeUnblocker handles both with one integration and one bill.
According to SerpApi's pricing page, plans start at $25 per month for 1,000 searches, a free plan includes 250 searches a month, and only successful searches are counted. ScrapeUnblocker charges 1 credit per request, €1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go, with 500 free requests on signup, and does not bill blocks, timeouts or errors on its side.
