How will Andi make money?

We're focused on building an awesomely useful product right now as an early-stage startup, but we already have some plans for how we can fund Andi long-term. We also hope to help create a new economic model that shares search revenue fairly with the people who make great content online.

This is a broad outline of what we have planned. We will figure out the details once we're further along.

We plan to fund Andi through a freemium business model, with free anonymous search for everyone for ever, and paid plans for professionals and businesses. Business plans will include API use, and using Andi for corporate information.

We are committed to staying 100% advertising free. Commercial considerations or partnerships have zero impact on our search results or recommendations. Our recommendations are always made based on the best results we can find for our customers, and are never subject to commercial influence.

Google, Facebook and others eat up the vast majority of the advertising revenue in the world, and they use that money to fund their surveillance capitalism business models. As they start adding answers without proper attribution or credit, this will get even worse. We believe in promoting the sources of great content. And we want to help fund great content producers and media companies with a fair system, and help them help reduce the reliance on invasive ad-tech, which has ruined the web and made trying to read online mostly awful.

We pioneered the idea of sharing search revenue with content producers. We've been committed to do that since we started, and will do that from the first cent of any revenue we earn.

By sharing search revenue with content producers and media companies that join our network, our mission is to provide funding to great content and reduce media's reliance on invasive ad-tech. We hope we can build that into something meaningful for content producers as we grow Andi.
