    If it were half the cost or if all the tiers had unlimited searches I’d probably subscribe, but I don’t want to ration the searches the way I used to have to ration dialup minutes.

      This is what I felt about Neeva, too. Metered searches meant I only used it when I “needed” it… By which point I was mired in search results and focused on my Google Fu and completely forgot about Neeva.

      I get that it costs money to run, but they needed a long free trial to get me hooked, then a reasonably priced unlimited tier. I was never going to use a site that restricts my search volume.

      • There was a limit to Neeva? I payed $55/year for unlimited searches, but maybe I was in some tier that became unavailable or something.

        I think that has set my price expectations.

          iirc, their trial tier was 100 searches total, or something like. I could never adequately test it so I never converted to a paid user.
