Compared with Serper

Serper Alternative

Beyond Google-only search.

Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo: live · Baidu and Ecosia: opening soon · not GA

Serper is a Google Search API. If you also need Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Baidu or Ecosia organic results, compare a multi-engine option. No speed claims are made here.

Self-host vs hosted

Self-hosted (e.g. OpenSERP, MIT)

You run and maintain it; full control, your infrastructure.
