Hi there!

Recently, I've added many new features to the premium subscription: country filters, email delivery, keyword blocking, and more. To reflect this, I'll be increasing the price from $10/month to $15/month.

But I want to say thank you to long-term readers who have supported the project all this time, even when it wasn't as polished. If you subscribe before December 7, I'll lock in the current price of $10/month for you.

Thank you for your support! See the new features on the premium page.
