Premium Features (Coming)
I'm planning to add premium features for power users. Some ideas I'm considering:
- Private pages (keep your interests and feeds private)

- Daily email digests
I'm still planning these. If you have ideas or want to vote on what gets built first, check out the feedback board.
Pricing Philosophy
Scour was inspired by great indie software projects like Bear Blog and NextDNS. These are useful products built by a solo developer or small team with names and faces, rather than huge companies or VC-backed startups.
Bear Blog and NextDNS are also products that have a generous free option and a very fair split between free and paid features. And, the premium options (both of which I pay for) are priced such that they are no-brainers.
The core experience of finding great content should be free. Premium features will be for power users who want extra control or convenience, at a fair price.
Support Scour's Ongoing Development
If you appreciate Scour and want to support its development, you can:
- Reach out and let me know you like it. Hearing from happy users is very motivational.
- Provide feedback and contribute to the roadmap. This helps me prioritize what you'll actually find useful.
- Spread the word! Please tell others about Scour: in person, on social media, or on your own blog or website. This really helps it grow.
🙏 Thanks for your support!
Sponsors
Scour's embeddings are generously provided for free by Mixedbread. I evaluated and chose the embedding model independently and have been a happy user of their API. They thought Scour seemed like a cool project and offered to sponsor it. I genuinely think they're doing interesting work on embeddings and semantic search, so I was happy to accept their offer.
