Match the platform to your workflow

Platforms listed for these tools include API, web, Linux, Windows, macOS and extension. An API platform suits software integration, while web or extension access may fit browser-based work.

Check the platform label before choosing a tool, especially when your workflow depends on a desktop operating system or browser extension.

Check search coverage and result types

Compare the search engines covered by a tool and the SERP types it can return. Coverage can matter when your workflow targets a specific engine or result format.

Review the listed coverage and SERP types against the searches your application needs to process.

Review location and proxy controls

Location targeting can affect the results returned for a query. Proxy handling is another comparison point when requests need location-aware or network-aware routing.

Look for location and proxy details that fit your request pattern before committing to a paid plan.

Check output formats and request limits

Output formats determine how results move into your application or workflow. Compare the formats offered with the structure your code can read.

Requests included are a listed comparison field. Match that allowance to expected query volume and review the plan terms before upgrading.
