Serper
Fast, broad Google search + Maps results. A discovery/recall layer — validate important hits, don't treat as ground truth.
Use Serper when you need live Google results fast and broad recall matters more than source-specific extraction — web research, newsy/changing facts, or finding a company/person/topic before deeper enrichment.
0.1 credits per call. Every method (search, news, images, maps, places, scholar, reviews, autocomplete, scrape) is charged per request — the credit pays for the query itself, so a search that comes back empty is still charged.

Guidance
- Use
searchfor broad recall and to collect candidate URLs before you know the right destination. - Use
maps/placesfor storefronts, service areas, offices, and other local entities (phone, address, rating, website, CID). - Treat Serper as a discovery + recall layer — pass strong hits into structured tools (Firecrawl, Apify, provider enrichments).
- Expect live-search variability — validate important results via the returned URL or a follow-up fetch.

SendKit
Cold-email infrastructure with a dedicated IP per account — campaigns, sequences, leads, DNC, and a deliverability surface (mailbox health, warmup, inbox-placement and blacklist tests). BYOK; free on Hyreflow.
Shovels
US building-permit and contractor data for construction/trades sourcing. BYOK-only on Hyreflow. Key gotcha: everything keys off a geo_id.
