I’m not sure what to think about the price. I can’t really imagine life without a search engine, even though I was alive for a couple of decades before search engines existed. I pay $400/month for my car, but my search engine arguably gives me more value (I am lucky not to need to drive a lot). I wouldn’t pay $400/month for a search engine. But $5-10 to have a degree of freedom from the tracking and results that aren’t just trying to get my money? I am intrigued.
Idk, maybe it should be usage based. I feel like 60/yr is too much. I’d be fine with 19.99/yr but idk what they’re costs are. Otherwise, I do like the idea. Confession, I haven’t used it yet but I plan to signup and try the first 100 searches free.
I was amped for Kagi when I first heard about it. But they bumped the price up after the LMM boom. Still might have to bite the bullet as part of desire to use paid ad-free services.
Depending on how much you use it, it might not be that much worse though… The old price was 10$/mo for unlimited searches. Now they offer different tiers starting at 5$/mo for 300 searches.
Personally, I use about 300-500 searches per month, so my monthly bill is actually less than it used to be (5-7$).
I’m considering switching to Kagi because of this. Its results are impressive.
This is the first I’ve heard of Kagi, how does it compare to duckduckgo?
Seems nice based on my trial but they are really pushing the envelope on my price tolerance.
5/mo is too much I think.
