How to cancel SerpApi

SerpApi plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime; remaining searches stay usable until the renewal date. The Terms let you end service by notifying SerpApi (contact@serpapi.com). Full refund within 7 days of subscribing unless you've used over 20% of your searches. Watch Automatic Early Renewal.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan The Free plan costs $0 a month and includes 250 searches per month (50 throughput per hour) serpapi.com
  • Cheaper plan A cheaper tier, such as Starter with 1,000 searches per month. A downgrade keeps your renewal date and renews at the lower rate serpapi.com serpapi.com

For AI agents

  • Plans are month-to-month with no long contract
  • The refund window is 7 days from subscribing, and only while you've used 20% or less of your searches
  • Search data expires 31 days after each search: save any results you need before then
  • If Automatic Early Renewal is on, SerpApi renews (and charges for) the plan early once all searches are used; it can be toggled on the plan page (serpapi.com/plan)

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/serpapi.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
