Suede membership
Suede is members-only, with two plans: Suede Pro and Suede Ultimate. Both cover unlimited private, ad-free web, image, news, video, and shopping search on the site, and access to the Search API — the plans differ only in what comes bundled for API use and support.
The two plans
| Suede Pro | Suede Ultimate | |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited private search | ✓ | ✓ |
| Zero ads, zero tracking, no query logs | ✓ | ✓ |
| Search API access | Pay-as-you-go credits | 1,000 requests included monthly + pay-as-you-go beyond |
| Support | Standard | Priority |
| New features | — | First access |
The membership and the API credits are two different things. The membership is a flat subscription that grants access; the API draws down prepaid credits per request. Searching on the site never touches your credit balance — only the API does.
Price
Prices are set per region, in your local currency, and shown on the pricing page. Two billing intervals are offered; annual is billed once a year and works out cheaper per month.
| Region | Suede Pro | Suede Ultimate |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $12 / month · $99 / year | $25 / month · $199 / year |
| United Kingdom | £9 / month · £75 / year | £19 / month · £159 / year |
Switching plans
You can move between Pro and Ultimate any time, in either direction, with one click — from Settings → Billing. A switch never interrupts anything: it simply takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle, with no proration and no new checkout. Until the boundary you keep exactly what you have, and you can cancel a scheduled switch just as easily.
Moving to Ultimate starts the monthly included API credits from your first Ultimate period. Moving to Pro stops them from your first Pro period — any credit you purchased is unaffected either way.
Subscribe
Suede is payment-first: an account is created only once a plan is paid for.
- Open the pricing page and choose your plan and Monthly or Annual.
- Continue to checkout (handled by Stripe) and enter your card.
- On success your account is provisioned and your membership is active immediately.
On Ultimate, the monthly API-credit allotment is granted the moment the membership becomes active, and again at the start of each billing period.
Cancel
Cancel any time from the Stripe customer portal — see Manage billing. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period: you keep full access until the period you have already paid for runs out, and you are not charged again.
