Wow. I don't mind paying for stuff if it's good. But seriously $5/month seems pretty expensive, and you only get 300 searches. $25 for unlimited searches, which seems like an insane amount of money.
Not sure where you are, but there's practically no place in the US you get a lunch for that. In flat terms it's quite cheep. It's only expensive relative to free.
And when you think about it, your search service really is your internet. It shapes your whole internet experience. If that's not worth $5/month to make sure it's good and not polluted with ads, I don't know what to tell you.
$5 is fine. 300 seems low. I wonder how many searches I actually do in a month.
I wasn't sure ethor. My first month (last month), I used just over 180. This month might break 200, I have 5 days left. So I'm good.
