Metered cash this month
$60.00 /mo
Standard Queue. Cheapest of every eligible purchase option, not the first plan that fits.
Bars share one linear scale across the 3 counted stages, so a multiplier shows as length. Units differ by stage and are labelled. Cash is not on that scale.
100,000 standard searches → 100,000 search → Standard Queue $60.00/mo = $0.60 per 1,000 searches

Same 100,000 standard search calls with one default-depth result set per call, ranked by what you would actually be billed. Unknown totals never enter the numeric order.

Product scope and returned result
DataForSEO SERP API submits search-engine tasks and returns structured search-result data. Buyers choose Standard Queue, Priority Queue, or Live delivery according to required turnaround. The base Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, and Seznam task price covers the default depth of 10 results, while some specialized engines and result types use different default depths. This is a SERP-data service, not a general browser session or an LLM answer endpoint. (DataForSEO SERP pricing and cost explanation, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Every recorded meter
The base meter is a search task for 10 results. Standard Queue is $0.0006 per task, Priority Queue is $0.0012, and Live is $0.002. The selected delivery method replaces the other base methods for that task. (DataForSEO SERP pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Additional depth is another meter. For Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, and Seznam, each additional 10 results above the default costs 75 percent of the chosen base task price. Google News, Google Images, and Google Search by Image use a 100-result default; Google Maps uses 100; and Google Local Finder uses 20 desktop or 10 mobile. (DataForSEO cost explanation, retrieved 2026-07-26).
The record also carries these additive or modifying meters:
- A screenshot costs $0.004 per image, and AI extraction costs $0.01 per task. (DataForSEO SERP pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26).
- Search operators apply a 5x multiplier, while
calculate_rectanglesadds one base task price. (DataForSEO cost explanation, retrieved 2026-07-26). - YouTube search and comments are billed per 20 results; video information and subtitles cost 3x the base rate. (DataForSEO cost explanation, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Funds reserved for a failed or errored task are returned to the account balance. (DataForSEO cost explanation, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Contract path, minimum, trial, and price status
This is a self-serve pay-as-you-go product, not a quote-only contract. Registration provides $1 in trial credit for an unlimited trial period, and the Sandbox can be used without paying. The minimum deposit is $50 when the buyer funds the account, but that payment remains account balance rather than a monthly fee. Supported payment methods include cards, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and bank wire, with support available for alternatives. (DataForSEO SERP pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26).
The buyer should know the engine, device and location, result depth, delivery method, and optional parameters before forecasting cost. There is no published monthly minimum beyond the $50 funding transaction. The absence of usd_mo is therefore expected: the vendor publishes task rates and an account deposit, not a subscription price. (DataForSEO SERP pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26).
