Seems nice but going from a keyword search to my account and back, there was another charge on the credit as if a new search was done. This was I fear the charges will rise up with very minimal use.

Double checked, your search is cached for 5 minutes (that's the timeframe when new request would not happen)

It was like 30 secs the back-n-forth The same happened when the tab was left opened for a long time and chrome auto-refreshed it or something to that effect. Again, it was counted as new search. This doesn’t seem like a good use of resources or how one would expect to spend « credits » It’s like being charged for a page view

We're investigating it deeper, thanks for the feedback!

Update is live. The same request should not happen during the same session (while browser tab is open)

Hi, congrats on the launch! Are searches cached locally in my account? I accidentally reload a page, it seems to run the search again and charge the (free and provided) balance. Thanks

Hi. Your searches cached locally for some time, reloading the page clears the cache

Thanks. I don't want it to take away from the accomplishment this is and look forward to the tweak - it seemed to further charge me if I reloaded an existing search page.

it might be nice to explain somewhere how the billing works too. my first thought is "am i billed again if i go to page 2 of the results? or add a new filter?"

Thanks for feedback! We'll try to make it as clear as possible. To your question: you're getting billed every time request happens - second page and new filters produce a new request to get data from the provider

This isn't clear though, because under the search it tells you the number of results, so you think you've paid for all those results, but you haven't. You've only paid for the first page. And how can I export multiple pages?

From your landing:

Keywords Page 450 x $0.05

Keyword Details 150 x $0.04 Your estimated bill

$29

> Semrush. Save up to 71% of your current bill

While using semrush, you pay 4 times more, but it provides DAILY 3k requests. Your tool provides overall(not daily) 3k requests for the bigger price

What I learned recently was that all the SEO tool basically query the same back end provider. So I guess it makes sense that there is innovation on the pricing model side of things. We use ubersuggest which has a lifetime pricing, quite neat.

I'm pretty sure, that tier-5 services are investing in their own data collectors and buying only small part of data.
