Best for
- Reliable, wide-coverage SERP data (Google plus many other engines/endpoints)
- SEO tools and shopping/maps data pipelines
Watch-outs
- Higher per-search price than most bulk SERP competitors at small volume.
- Fixed monthly buckets; no published pay-as-you-go.
What we could not verify
- overage: No per-search overage published; running out triggers early renewal of the plan.
