TLDR: Free tier research is now limited to 2/week to handle a large increase of new users and ensure the best experience for paid users We’re working on reintroducing an improved “ask” mode for everyone (including free tier) Expect changes and constant improvements as we scale More details below --- We’ve recently lowered the research frequency limit for the free tier due to a significant increase in new users. Free plan limits will change to 1 research per day & 2 per week. Newly invited users get 1 bonus research valid for 7 days as a referral bonus. After the researches are used or the 7 days end, their account will switch to “Free.” This allows us to temporarily prioritize the experience of paid users. Their rates remain unchanged and the research capabilities are expanding with additional agents to create more comprehensive reports. The team is also working on an improved “ask” mode, which was previously deprecated to provide more utility for free-tier and paid users.
