Starting today, July 1, 2026, we’re introducing a pricing update necessary to support the continued performance, reliability and quality of DataForSEO APIs. We’re applying adjusted rates across selected APIs and moving all endpoints to a pay-as-you-go model by cancelling monthly commitments.
We want to share this update with full transparency and sincere appreciation for your continued trust.
What’s changed
From today, updated rates apply across eight APIs. The standard adjustment is approximately 20%, with several endpoint-specific exceptions listed below.
- Backlinks API: +20% for all endpoints
- Business Data API: +20% for Business Listings Search and Categories Aggregation endpoints, +7% per request for Google Hotel Searches Task POST
- Content Analysis API: +20% for most endpoints, +18.2% for Rating Distribution
- DataForSEO Labs API: +20% for all endpoints
- Domain Analytics API: +20% for all endpoints
- Keywords Data API: +20% for most endpoints, +22% for Google Trends Explore
- On-Page API: +20% for most endpoints, +18% for Lighthouse Task POST and Live
- Merchant API: +50% for Amazon Products and Sellers Task POST
Monthly commitment removal
The $100 monthly commitment for the Backlinks API and LLM Mentions API access is now removed. This means you no longer need to meet a monthly minimum payment requirement to use these APIs. Access to both APIs is now available under the same pay-as-you-go model used across all DataForSEO APIs.
Context behind the change
We understand that pricing is an important part of your decision-making, planning and budgeting, and any update like this deserves clear context. That is why we want to be upfront about why we’re making this change.
We’ve kept pricing stable for years while infrastructure and processing costs have continued to rise. This pricing adjustment allows us to maintain the speed, reliability, and data quality you count on every day.
