When Brave Search might be a better fit

Brave Search API is the better choice if privacy is your primary requirement -- it offers zero data retention and an independent search index not dependent on Google. It's also the leading search tool for Claude MCP integrations, with high rate limits (50 QPS) and a built-in Answer endpoint for summarized responses.

If your agents need structured Google SERP data (knowledge graphs, People Also Ask, AI overviews), YouTube transcripts and metadata, or Amazon product data, Scavio provides significantly richer multi-platform coverage.
