Fair enough. I must say I didn’t even consider the per-search payment option - I just assumed it would be abusively expensive to encourage committing to a monthly fee, but clearly not! Thank you for demonstrating that so comprehensively.
That’s better but it still means I’d be using multiple search engines just so I don’t rack up costs indiscriminately. And honestly if I’m paying to use it that seems unnecessarily inconvenient.
$5/month for 100 searches per day (or something high enough I’d be unlikely to hit it when using it as my sole search engine) and I’d be totally willing to switch. As it is it’s just too expensive.
Yeah I mean even $5 for 400 would be ok, that’s like 1.25c per search, and more likely to be something you don’t tip over accidentally some months. That would still fit in with $10 for 1,000 - so long as you make 800 733.3 searches a month it’s better definitely value.
Right now, at 1.66c per search ($5 for 300), you would need to make 600 searches for $10 to be better value. However, in the $5 plan you’d pay less after 300 searches (1.5c each), so it’s actually 633.3 searches to break even, under the current price plan.
