Contact Records, Not SERP Data

The Best SerpApi Alternative for B2B Lead Generation in 2026

The difference is what comes back: a parsed results page, or a list of businesses you can actually email.

Quick Answer:

SerpApi and Evascrape solve different halves of the same problem. SerpApi turns a search results page into structured data, which is the right tool for rank tracking and search research. Evascrape turns a search term and a place into business contact records, including the email published on each business website, priced per record with automatic refunds for what is not delivered.

Why Teams Switch from SerpApi to Evascrape

This is less a switch than a choice of tool. If you are tracking rankings or studying what a search page contains, a SERP API is correct and Evascrape is not a substitute. If your goal is a list of businesses to contact, a parsed results page is the first step of a longer job you would have to build yourself.

A results page is not a contact list

A parsed Maps result gives you what the panel shows: name, rating, sometimes a phone and a website. To contact those businesses you still need to visit each website and find a published email. That second job is the part Evascrape does for you.

No pagination arithmetic

Getting a few hundred places from a SERP API means planning pages, deduplicating across them, and handling the point where results stop. Evascrape takes a total, works out the coverage itself, and tells you before you spend if your search terms cannot reach the number you asked for.

Billed per record, not per search

Per-search pricing rewards you for narrow queries and punishes broad ones, which is the opposite of what list building needs. Evascrape charges for delivered records and refunds the rest.

Fields shaped for outreach

Thirty-one fields per place, including split address parts, social profiles, coordinates, review counts and closure flags, so filtering and CRM import need no post-processing.

SerpApi Pricing vs Evascrape Pricing

We do not publish SerpApi plan prices or search quotas here, because they change and a stale figure in a comparison is worse than none. Check their pricing page. Our side is fixed and stated in full.

SerpApi Pricing

  • SerpApi: plans based on searches per month. See their pricing page for current tiers and quotas.
  • Evascrape, Google Maps: $12 per 1,000 records
  • Evascrape, Apollo.io and LinkedIn: $9 per 1,000 records
  • Evascrape, optional email verification: $5 per 1,000, charged on top
  • Evascrape, records without an email address: billed at a reduced rate

Evascrape Pricing

  • Apollo Scraper: $9 per 1,000 leads
  • LinkedIn Scraper: $9 per 1,000 leads
  • Google Maps Scraper: $12 per 1,000 leads
  • Email verification: +$5 per 1,000 (optional)
  • No monthly fees, no contracts
Annual Savings Example:

The units are not comparable, which is the honest answer: one bills per search, the other per delivered record. What you can compare is total work. On Evascrape, 1,000 Maps records cost $12.00 with the undelivered part refunded, and the emails are already resolved, so there is no second pipeline to build or pay for.

Who Should Choose Evascrape Over SerpApi?

Teams that only wanted the leads

You reached for a SERP API because it was the closest thing available, then wrote the website-visiting step yourself. That step is the product here.

Developers avoiding pagination work

You want to ask for 2,000 businesses, not plan how many pages that is and deduplicate across them.

Agencies building local lists

Per-record pricing with automatic refunds matches campaign work better than a monthly search quota.

Anyone who needs both

Keep the SERP API for rank tracking and research. Use Evascrape for the contact list. They do not overlap much.

How to Migrate from SerpApi to Evascrape

  1. Sign up for a free Evascrape account at app.evascrape.com/signup
  2. Import your existing target lists from SerpApi (CSV format supported)
  3. Start scraping on a pay-per-lead basis, no contract, no commitment, cancel anytime

If you have a pipeline that calls a SERP API and then crawls each website for an email, Evascrape replaces both halves with one job. Run a small job with the signup credit and compare the email column against what your pipeline produces today; that single column is usually where the difference shows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Evascrape a SerpApi alternative?

For building business contact lists, yes. For rank tracking, search research or scraping other search verticals, no. SerpApi returns parsed search results; Evascrape returns business records with contact details.

Does SerpApi return business emails?

A parsed Maps result contains what the panel shows, which rarely includes an email address. Getting one means visiting the business website yourself. Evascrape does that step and returns the published address in the same record.

How is the pricing different?

SerpApi bills per search on monthly plans; check their pricing page for current figures. Evascrape bills per delivered record, $12 per 1,000 for Google Maps, and refunds anything it could not deliver.

Do I have to handle pagination?

No. You give a total and Evascrape works out the coverage. If your search terms cannot reach that total it tells you how many more you need before charging anything.

What fields come back for each business?

Thirty-one, including name, category, split address, phone, website, published email, rating, review count, coordinates, place id, social profiles and closure flags.

Can I use both tools?

That is a reasonable setup. They overlap very little: one is for studying search results, the other for building a list you can contact.

Is there a free trial?

A confirmed account starts with $2.00 in credit, about 160 Google Maps records.
