Cut SerpApi Costs by 80% with Scavio Migration

The Problem

SerpApi charges $50/mo for 5,000 searches and $0.01 per extra query. Teams running daily rank tracking, competitor monitoring, or content audits burn through credits fast, and the bill climbs unpredictably once the base plan is exceeded.

The Scavio Solution

Scavio delivers the same Google SERP data at $0.005/credit with a free 250/mo tier and a $30/mo plan for 7,000 credits. The REST API is a drop-in replacement: swap the endpoint, update the auth header, and keep your existing parsing logic intact.

Who It Is For

Engineering teams and SEO agencies managing SERP API budgets.

Key Benefits

• 80% cost reduction on equivalent search volume
• Drop-in REST API with minimal code changes
• Free 250 credits/mo for small projects or testing
• Predictable per-credit billing with no overage surprises

Python Example

import requests

# Before: SerpApi
# resp = requests.get("https://serpapi.com/search", params={"q": query, "api_key": SERPAPI_KEY})

# After: Scavio
resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={"x-api-key": SCAVIO_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"query": query, "platform": "google", "limit": 10}
)
results = resp.json()
for r in results.get("results", []):
    print(f"{r['position']}. {r['title']} - {r['link']}")

JavaScript Example

const H = {'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'};
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {method: 'POST', headers: H, body: JSON.stringify({query: 'example', country_code: 'us'})}).then(r => r.json()).then(d => console.log(d.organic_results?.length + ' results'));
