Unfortunately 100 queries per day is quite low for LLMs, which tend to average 5-10 searches per prompt in my experience. And paying for the search API doesn’t seem to be worth it compared to something like a ChatGPT subscription.
> Custom Search JSON API provides 100 search queries per day for free. If you need more, you may sign up for billing in the API Console. Additional requests cost $5 per 1000 queries, up to 10k queries per day.
What I meant is that pricing for 10k queries per day does not make sense instead of a simple $20/month ChatGPT subscription.

You're not limited to 100 queries per day though. You're limited to 10,000 queries per day.

10k queries would cost $50/day

The Google programmable search engine is unlimited and can search the web: https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/
That's intended for human users. If you try to use it for automated requests, you'll get banned for botting fairly quickly.
