How we count
Each price is per 1,000 searches when you make 1,000 or 100,000 searches a month and buy them the cheapest way that provider sells: pay as you go, the plan that covers them with its overage, or a pack spread over the months it lasts. A free allowance is not subtracted; free tiers are listed on their own.
A free tier is a limit, not a price: it is listed on every page and called the cheapest on none. A price read for the first time, or that moved a lot, is marked while a second reading checks it.
