What??? I just used it the other day to look up a cert.

So annoying

Oh no! I love using that site!

Edit...I just used it to look for diamonds and it didn't say anything about a fee.

I just tried it again now, and it's free again. A few days ago, I kept getting a message stating that I had to sign up, and it gave options for 30 days at $39, and then a monthly option at $29. Maybe they were testing something out and then changed their mind? lol... No idea. Just glad that I can use it again for free. I use it all the time.

Reddit almost had a hue and cry against StoneAlgo over it a few days ago. The opposition to paying a fee was very strong, to say the least.

I just tried using StoneAlgo, and I'm getting the message that they want payment again. What a drag!

I think the fee applies for looking up diamonds they categorize as "off market"...I encountered it last week.

I just put in a grading report number for an ACA and no pop-up for a fee:
