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.
