Comparison

Oxylabs vs PricesAPI

Oxylabs SERP API is enterprise-grade SERP scraping at $0.50/1k results. Cheaper per-call than us at the entry tier — but raw SERP, not parsed shopping data with per-merchant offers.

TL;DR

Oxylabs is the closest enterprise competitor on raw per-call price. Their Micro plan is $49/mo for 98K Google search results — that's $0.50/1k, well below our $1.96/1k. The honest tradeoff: their results are raw SERP JSON across all Google verticals (Search, Images, News, Shopping via Product Listing Ads, Local). You parse out shopping listings, you correlate offers across merchants. PricesAPI is the layer above: parsed product results with a dedicated /offers endpoint for every merchant. If raw per-call cost is your binding constraint and you have engineering capacity to parse SERP, Oxylabs wins. If you want shopping data without building the parsing layer, we win.
