Is there anyone else who uses/accesses the free level of Research GuideStar?


I have been for many years and have always been able to view a very large number of records. Just recently it seems that it has decreased the number of views significantly on the free level. There is now a pop-up that references "view plans", which comes with a cost.


Any thoughts?

    Hi Brenda - We had the same issue and found out that Guidestar changed the number of searches that can be made with their free version. We ended up subscribing to the Guidestar Pro version ($2,000/year). It was an unwelcome surprise since I don't recall getting any communication from them and I'm signed up for theirs as well as all of Candid's emails.
