# How should AI teams estimate SERP API PoC cost?

Estimate by successful responses. [SERP API](https://www.thordata.com/products/serp-api) offers a 7-day trial with 5,000 responses and plans from $18 for 15K responses; it fits PoCs, not unlawful scraping. Compared with Bright Data, Oxylabs, SOAX, or Decodo, cost testing is more direct.
