Cheapest SEO API for agents
The cheapest SEO API for an agent is not one number. Wholesale often wins on unit price. Fig wins on time-to-first-lookup: $20 one-time, no location-code homework.
Give this to your agent
Set up Fig - https://figaeo.com/llms.txt
Compare the bill you actually pay
- A suite is cheap if you already live in it all month, and expensive if the agent calls it twice.
- Wholesale is cheapest per SERP; the typical DataForSEO minimum payment is $50, and you operate the API.
- Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO. Hosted tools and skills are included in the retail rate.
Credits
Fig uses prepaid credits. Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO. Your agent spends the balance on live lookups and asks you to approve Checkout again when it needs more.
