Send row transfers each row as-is to another table - useful for filtering, segmenting data, or separating logic across tables. [1]
Send row for each item in a list flattens lists by turning each item into its own row. For example, if you find multiple people at a company, it sends each person as a separate row. [2]
Use Send row when you want to move complete rows between tables. Use Send row for each item in a list when you have lists in cells and need each list item as its own row. [3]

if you want to send single rows from your table you will use send row option and if you have column which contains list of items (like serper - find contacts at companies) and you want to push each contact to a new row in other table then you will use 'send row for each item in a list' option

Exactly right! You've got it perfectly.
Send row = moves complete rows as-is between tables. Great for filtering or organizing data across different tables. [1]
Send row for each item in a list = flattens lists by creating a new row for each item. Perfect for when you have multiple contacts from a company search and want each person as their own row. [2]
Your Serper example is spot on - that's exactly when you'd use the "for each item" option to turn a list of contacts into individual rows.
