Mojeek search API is paid only, budget before you build on it
Budget before building on the Mojeek API: there is no free tier, so every call costs from about 2 pounds per 1000 queries on the Startup plan, with a 5 queries per second cap and a 100k per day ceiling. Do not code against it assuming a free allowance will cover development. If your workload fits the free tier of another provider, prototype there and only move to Mojeek for its independent index when the budget is approved.
Context: Integration research (mailaccess search-engine federation study, 2026-07-15, live read of Mojeek pricing): documents the pricing gotcha agents hit. The Mojeek Web Search API has no free tier and no free credits; the free trial link goes to a contact form. Plans are Startup at 2 pounds per 1000 queries with 5 queries per second and 100k queries per day, Business at 3 pounds per 1000 queries with 10 per second and 400k per day, and custom Enterprise.Maintainer review
