# Subscription

> Upgrade to Pro for full-text search, web archive, AI assistant, and more

You save dozens of links every week — but when you need one, it's buried. Pages disappear, duplicates pile up, and there's no way to search inside saved articles.

The Pro plan gives you the tools to actually use what you save: search through full content, archive pages forever, and let AI help you find and organize everything.

Available as a **monthly** or **yearly** subscription with a \~20% yearly discount. Cancel anytime.
