B2B data teams on r/SaaSSales and r/gtmengineering are asking the same 2026 question: which SERP API actually works for prospect research at scale, not just one-off Google lookups? The real job is collecting structured signals across Google, Maps, LinkedIn-adjacent surfaces, YouTube, and Reddit so an SDR agent can build a qualified lead list without stitching five tools together. We ranked five APIs against that benchmark.
Scavio is the only entry-tier API that combines Google SERP, Maps, YouTube transcripts, Amazon/Walmart, and Reddit under one key. A single B2B collection agent covers every signal source without vendor sprawl.

Why Scavio Wins
- A B2B data collection pipeline is never just Google. SDR research depends on finding where a prospect speaks publicly, which means Reddit discussions, YouTube interviews, and Amazon seller listings alongside the SERP. Scavio is the only entry-priced API that covers all five surfaces.
- SerpAPI and DataForSEO charge per request against Google alone. A single prospect often needs 4 to 8 queries across surfaces, which blows through those plans. Scavio's 7,000-credit tier at $30 handles hundreds of prospects per month.
- The MCP server and LangChain tool class mean an SDR agent built in Claude Code or LangGraph connects in minutes. Neither SerpAPI nor DataForSEO ships first-party MCP servers in 2026.
- Scavio's fast search tier at 30 credits per query cuts collection cost in half for long-tail B2B queries where a cached result is acceptable. Reserve the full tier for must-be-live pricing and review data.
- For teams asking r/SaaSSales about B2B collection specifically, unified reporting matters. One dashboard covers every platform instead of reconciling five vendor invoices at the end of the month.
