For only 300 searches, that's 10 searches a day. I do probably 50 to 100 searches per day.

So, it's really $10 a month.

I might pay $5 a month for unlimited but I'm not sure about that. Because, you know they'll raise the price if they get successful enough. And, then it's just a constant march to more enshittification.

They offer a genuinely good product and I think it's important to support companies that sell a good product rather than their customers' info.

I paid $5 for a couple of years but eventually stopped because I kept running out of searches after a few weeks. $10 a month for a search engine is excessive but 300 searches a month is too limiting.

I pay per search using their APi and my SearXNG instance, it’s like ¢0.03 per search which I capped to $5 a month, we’re currently on the 23rd of October and I owe them a whopping $2.03, I usually don’t hit that $5 limit.

I only wish they weren’t an American company.

So let me get this straight. Not only it's closed source and SaaS but you guys are paying for your data to be stored on US based servers that are vulnerable to the patriot act? You're paying for that privilege?
