Credits & Billing
We offer a transparent and fair pricing model based on usage. You only pay for what you successfully retrieve.
How Credits Work ​
Every request to a Just Serp API endpoint costs a certain number of credits. The exact cost depends on the specific endpoint and features used.
The "Charge on Success" Policy ​
We believe you shouldn't pay for failures. Credits are only deducted when the API successfully returns results, indicated by a business logic code of 200 in the JSON response.
- Success (Business Code 200): Credits are deducted from your balance.
- Error (Non-200 Codes): No credits are deducted. Whether it's an invalid parameter, an authentication issue, or a server-side error, you are not charged if we fail to deliver the data.
For a complete mapping of status codes and charging behavior, please refer to our Status Codes page.
Account Credits ​
Free Credits ​
When you register a new account, we provide a set of free Credits to help you explore our APIs and test your integration. These credits are valid for a limited time and are perfect for prototyping.
Paid Subscriptions ​
For higher volume needs, you can subscribe to a monthly plan. Subscriptions provide:
- A large bucket of monthly credits.
- Lower cost per credit compared to pay-as-you-go.
- Higher rate limits.
- Priority support.
Monitoring Usage ​
You can monitor your credit balance and detailed usage statistics in real-time through the dashboard. We provide breakdowns by:
- API Key
- Endpoint
- Time period
This helps you stay on top of your costs and optimize your integration.
