Absolutely. With such an increase I have to think about switching. 2,5ct for a web search??

#7We use Bing to search for ecommerce shipping addresses, and then analyze the results to identify whether a property is vacant or listed for sale. This helps us determine whether the address is being used as a "dead drop" for fraudulent purposes. The information is then fed into our fraud prevention model.
This price increase of 3.5 to 10 times the original amount is unacceptable and not justified.
