Why aren’t you listing any prices? How do I know whether you are cheaper than serpapi, for instance? And what does POA mean?

Price On Asking. I'll send you an email.

[culopatin → ColinHayhurst]

What is the reasoning behind price on asking? Makes me not want to ask actually. Is it cheaper if I ask on a Friday than if I ask on a Sunday? Is the pricing different if my domain is registered in an African nation than if it’s registered in the US?

[schappim → culopatin]

If a business does customised pricing, it is so they can maximise revenue. If you’re selling to a bank, you can charge more than what you would to a bootstrapped startup…

Any estimate on bings index size?

[ColinHayhurst → yellow_lead]

Have doubts about this tool but since you ask https://www.worldwidewebsize.com/ ~6.7 billion

Cool, thanks. Just want to compare it to yours (although surely there are other comparisons to be made as well)
