The promise

Search Party is free. This page says exactly what that means.

What is free

The whole loop:

• Opening a Search.
• Accepting an invite to help with one.
• Matching your calls against the Searches you help with.
• Getting a nudge and acting on it.

All of it is free.

What keeps it free

• You can leave with your data. Export gives you every Search you own as plain JSON.
• It costs almost nothing to run. Matching a call costs a fraction of a cent. Hosting is a few dollars a month. There is no bill that grows with users, so there is no pressure to charge.
• No money changes hands. Search Party takes no payment, has no paid tier, and sells nothing.
• If this site ever stops, you hear first. You get notice and time to export before anything is switched off.

The line

There is no paid tier. If that ever changes, this page changes first, and you hear about it before it happens.

What we don't promise

• That this site never stops. If it does, you get notice and your export.
• That any one matching engine stays available. The matcher is a swappable part. Today it is Jev. Tomorrow it could be something else.
