In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost.

I need per search pricing. Their plan includes way too many searches and is way too expensive. I use it like 2-3 times a month.

Do you use any other search engine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes I use DDG which gives me similar results for most things. When I can't find it there I go to Kagi. It has sometimes surprised me with much better results, but the cases are rare. I'd happily pay them 10 cents a search or something for those cases where I need to try it.

If I had your use case I'd cancel the while thing and only use their free plan, at this rate you're covered for 9 months or so

Oh yeah, I'm never buying a subscription. I'm still on the trial, it's been more than 6 months already. But I would pay them something for occasional use of their search engine if they'd let me do that.
