What the reviews say
Good at cost-efficient, generally stable scraping with strong regional/URL coverage, but fails on intermittent slowness, missing result sections, limited result counts, spotty support, and unclear billing.

| Caps and ceilings | 0 praised · 2 complained | 2 | limits organic results to ten entries“- Slow but does return result correctly. - `relatedQueries` is sometimes duplicated, for example when I search `Coffee`, it has duplicated entries like `Coffee nearby`. You could filter out duplicates. - `aiOverview` -> `content` is not populated. In normal Google search for `Coffee`, it should have short description of `Coffee` here. You do not need AI here as normal search result would have it. - The `organicResults` is only 10 maximum but I guess this is not extendable due to Google shenanigan.” — 4/5 |
| What it costs | 5 praised · 1 complained | 6 | very cost-efficient and often freeunexpected charges or unclear billing“4.5 Stars. Still not perfect but better and more cost efficient than other APIs I've tried. After numerous failed attempts to challenge myself in 1v1 to google... Thank you, great work :) I'm proud to use Czech Tech!” — 4/5 |
