SERPHouse alternatives on price, pool and commitment

Comparing a SERPHouse alternative? The published numbers, the questions their pricing page leaves open, and a ten minute test that beats every review.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Residential proxies

This page exists because the search you ran has almost no honest results. Nearly every page ranking for "SERPHouse alternative" earns a commission on the answer it gives you. We earn money if you pick us, which we are stating in the first paragraph rather than the footer.

What we can and cannot tell you about SERPHouse

The company behind the name sits at serphouse.com. We carry them as a proxy provider.

A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for SERPHouse recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.

Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.

What SERPHouse says about itself today

On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Free SERP API for Scraping Accurate SERP Data , SERPHouse".

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are a scraping or SERP API. They advertise 245 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: cards and Wise or Payoneer. The page offers some form of free trial. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Affordable SERP API Pricing For SERP Scraping - SERPHouse".

Nothing there has been tested. It is a record of what the page said on the day, which is the honest limit of what a page like this can offer without a measurement.

The domain record

The domain was registered on 20 August 2019, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 7 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from November 2019. It is paid up until 20 August 2027.

Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.

How much site there is

Our own crawl reached 77 of their pages. The mix was 1 blog page, 1 pricing page and 8 use-case pages.

That mix tells you how the company sells. Heavy location pages mean a geography-led pitch, heavy blog means a search-led one, and a single pricing page usually means one simple offer or one sales call.

The activity record

Our crawl of their site found 77 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from March 2026 and the newest from July 2026. 77 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.

An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.

What the advertised numbers cannot tell you

The expiry question

Expiry is the quietest price increase in this market. A plan sized for a busy month is expensive in a slow one, and the difference never appears in any comparison table, including ones written by vendors who benefit from it.

Why a cheap address is often a used one

An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.

Who pays for the requests that fail

Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.

What separates them, in a table

The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:

Blanks in that table are deliberate. We print what we read and date it, and leave the rest empty rather than repeating something we cannot stand behind.

The ten minute version of this decision

For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.

  1. Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
  2. Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
  3. Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
  4. Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
  5. Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.

Who else is in this bracket

The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:

The competing offer, for completeness

We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.
