Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: 4,000 free queries; at $0.005-0.006/query that is ~$20-24 of value, but the free grant is a fixed query count (not credits) so left null for honesty.

$ Is Linkup Search safe to use?
Uprouter rates Linkup Search as low risk. Official commercial API (linkup.so) with public pricing page, SOC 2 Type II, and named enterprise customers (Cohere, McKinsey, Legora); pricing page has no minimum spend listed. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.
