GOOD Search is funded by subscriptions, not advertising. Every plan — including free access — includes the same features. The only difference between plans is the number of searches included per billing cycle.
You can use GOOD Search without signing up. Anonymous access gives you up to 3 searches per day — enough to try the product before deciding whether to create an account.
When you create an account, you automatically start a 14-day free trial. No payment method required.
During the trial you get:
Quotas reset on the monthly anniversary of your account creation date, not on the 1st of the month.
Once the trial ends — or if you use up your quota — you'll be asked to choose a subscription plan to continue searching.
All three plans include the same features. The difference is the price, which lets you choose what you can afford and how much you want to support the project.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Searches per cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAIR | €2/month | €19/year | 3,000 |
| IMPACT | €5/month | €48/year | 3,000 |
| KARMA | €10/month | €96/year | 3,000 |
Yearly plans save roughly 20% compared to paying monthly.
FAIR is for people with limited resources — students, low income, anyone who just needs a working search engine at minimal cost.
IMPACT is the standard plan. At €5/month you cover the cost of running the service and contribute to climate and social impact projects.
KARMA is for people who want to provide maximum support for the mission.
All paid plans reset their quota on the monthly anniversary of your account creation date.
Wikipedia infoboxes don't count toward your quota.
See your current usage under Settings → Billing in your account.
You can change or cancel your plan at any time in your account settings.
Changing your plan (upgrade or downgrade) takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Once the period ends, you'll receive a prompt to complete payment for the new plan, which activates it.
Cancelling means your plan runs until the end of the paid period, then access reverts to trial-expired status.
There are no hidden fees or cancellation penalties.
