> SearXNG Search
SearXNG: free, open-source, self-hosted metasearch engine aggregating up to 264 search backends with a JSON Search API (format=json). No vendor, no API key required (keyless on self-hosted or public instances), no pricing — cost is only your hosting. Rate limiting/bot detection configured per instance.
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: Fully free (open source); no credits or vendor pricing to quantify.

$ Does SearXNG Search have a free tier?

$ How much does SearXNG Search cost per 1M tokens?
SearXNG Search does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is SearXNG Search safe to use?
Uprouter rates SearXNG Search as low risk. Official open-source project (docs.searxng.org, searx.space instance directory) with published Search API docs; low vendor risk but self-hosting operational burden; public third-party instances may impose per-IP rate limits. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
