Why we charge for Pro
Macroline's research agent and AI input call out to Claude on every miss. That costs us per-call. Free-tier quotas keep the lights on without ads, dark patterns, or selling your data. Pro is the sustainable way to use the magic features — and the entire database benefits, since researched foods get cached for everyone.
