I don't know if it's overpriced, or if it is the sticker shock of _having to pay for search where almost everywhere else provides it for free_. I'd rather not pay, but I'd also rather pay and support something to get them to stick around long-term.
I definitely don't disagree, although I typically do about double that count (albeit on the lower range).
I'm not a fan of subscriptions, but a search engine is definitely something I can understand requiring a subscription fee. Something like my calendar app? Nope (had to drop... some app because they moved from a perpetual license to a subscription).
