When I first started using Kagi a year ago or so, I compared results with Google every now and then.
Now? Never.
10 bucks a month for a tool that I use multiple times every single day is more than reasonable. The results hit home virtually every time.
There are variety of features to customize your searches but truthfully, I never found the need for them. I've only blocked/deprioritized some domains, that's it. The results are just so good.
Does Kagi give a similar impression as Google did then?
That's my major problem with google. Sometimes I need to search info on a symbol, and I don't know what it's called yet, so I have to perform another search, just to perform the one I actually care about.
This number really varies based on where you live, and there is no pricing model that accounts for this. I suppose it is mostly just aimed at Americans.
Have you ever used Perplexity? How does Kagi compare with it?
I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back but I’m not a heavy searcher. I would be curious to know your typical use cases!
My experience trying switching with duckduckgo (repeatedly) always failed; checking google, unhappy with ddg results. Kagi, not so.
If I search for "Elac 6.2 speakers amazon" it comes up with a .com link. I have to search for "Elac 6.2 speakers amazon uk" for it to go to .co.uk.
This was an option with Google that I liked.
*Weirdly now if I search for "elac debut 6.2 amazon" it comes up with a UK link :S
Same. I still do attempt a Google fallback if I don't easily find what I want on Kagi, but every single time, the Google results aren't what I'm looking for either.
Two years ago, I found out that my favorite Youtube creators were all on Nebula.
One year ago, I switched my phone to LineageOS to get security updates a little longer.
A month ago, I installed OpenStreetMaps because Google Maps got really bad at showing points-of-interest.
And today, Kagi removed the only obstacle that kept me on Google Search. I'm looking forward to building my filter list.
After accidentally de-googlifying myself, I might ditch Windows next. It feels really nice using products that respect me, as opposed to services that are actively hostile because of advertisers.
Don't get me wrong, I think Lineage is great and I use it too, but I think too many people are fooling themselves on how much extra security they're getting using it.
LineageOS will be using the exact same baseband that came with Android 9 on hardware they're deploying Android 12 to, if the phone's actual support stopped at 9. Yes with the new "Play System Updates" there's better security coverage, but it's still a gap compared to supported hardware.
Hot take, but IMO Windows has far more respect for the user than Linux does.
Everything is far more QA'd (and designed to be QA-able) and at least tries to minimise user frustration. There are exceptions to this, like "suggestions" in the Start menu, but outside of this it's designed in a user-first way.
(Desktop) Linux, on the other hand, seems to be more of an intellectual experiment designed to please the people who are writing it rather than a consumer-focused product. Performing basic tasks are unnecessarily complex, entire design paradigms are thrown out on a whim and compatibility issues continually arise because there's no single dominant standard.
The creator that convinced me to come over was Jacob Geller. His video essays were amazing, and I wanted to find a way to support him.
I went from Windows to Pop!_OS, and was surprised how it just worked flawlessly on all my hardware right after installing, the UI is nice too.
is it usable again?
I remember using LineageOS for a couple of years, but ditching it about 3 years ago. The for me dealbreaking was when banking apps stopped working
Anyone else struggled to leave google photos?
Tryout FreeBSD. Works fantastically for daily driver / desktop.
For the past three or so years I have tried half a dozen times to leave Google Search. Tried DDG, Brave Search and some others I can't remember now. But the "poor" quality of results had me going to Google for half of my searches, and after a while, just Google again, for convenience.
Now, I'm at 44/100 trial searches and I already know I'm going to pay for this. It's like using Google on 2008 plus without ads. It just work wonders, and I haven't even started to play with the filter to raise/lower certain domains, which I think it's a fantastic tool to have.
Great work Kagi Team!
I don’t search that much. I don’t want another monthly service fee. But I love the idea of paying for search.
Id happily pay $5 for 300 searches, but don’t want to do that every month.
This seems like the buffet or gym model where they want people just mindlessly paying and then not using it that much.
By making it feel a finite resource, some percentage of the users will start to ration their use of your service and/or do some deliberation before using it ("I kinda want to look that up, but I don't know if I want to spend one of my searches"), and introducing that kind of usage friction can even lead to a subtle resentment of your service.
I have this same unavoidable urge to optimize with other limited plans, such as cell phone plans (for voice , before everyone went unlimited anyway) and have found I'm much happier with an unlimited plan. It costs more and I value the saved mental energy more than the trivial amount of money.
I see this as the point to any subscription model. Of course they want you paying for more than you use/consume.
This whole post feels dirty, how it's a direct link to a blog post that just reads like a press release, and there's a ton of sus responses promoting it in this thread.
Tin foil hat, are we having a reddit bot moment on HN?
https://blog.kagi.com/status-update-first-three-months#finan...
This was a comment about their financials last year. This isn't a high profit business making hand over fist and exploiting users.
I'm happy to pay monthly to get a service I see as valuable, especially if it ensures that this service is sustainable long-term and doesn't disappear because of money.
How much do you think it would be reasonable for them to charge for 10,000 searches? I assume this fee is supposed to sustain the company and fund all development and growth with a 100% ad-free business model, forever!
Previous discussion about the prior change: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35078392 (226 Comments)
How does search quality really change my life?
Entrenched behavior is tough to overcome especially ostensibly free products.
A lot. I make dozens and dozens of searches on an average day.
I'm also somewhat cheap when it comes to subscriptions.
Throwing $10/mo. for something I can get "for free" is not a light choice. But...
1) I don't like Google's philosophy, I don't like being the product, I like being a customer
2) Google Search results have gradually gotten worse, mostly because of SEO spam
3) I don't really trust DuckDuckGo or Startpage, their model is essentially also advertising
I prefer to not go to the mall for recreation or work either.
There are lucrative bundling opportunities.
I am waiting fora corporate product; it's notable that Google Workspace still subjects you to ads in search. That's not only a data leak. It's also a constant attention tax on your knowledge workers.
There are tons of information workers who are dependent on search in their work – or if they're not, could work much better with good quality search.
The examples are really too many to list, but it really depends on the person. When it comes to not spending a dollar, people will create the most incredible and reality-defying reasons. So I'd expect 99% of Google users to keep using Google, or maybe even stop using web search when Google becomes completely unusable. Then they'll say "I have no need to search for things anyway".
Would you pay $10/mo to fix that problem?
For me, the answer has been yes. I don't think that is true of everyone (but maybe some people can live in the free plan limits!)
I started with the free plan, made it my default search engine and then tried to measure how often I felt like I had "lost something" once my free tier was up. And yeah, having to go back to Google or DuckDuckGo felt like I lost a really good tool and was using a mediocre replacement.
Ask this to someone who remembers when Google first appeared.
I am not a Kagi user, but am seriously considering it after a number of months having to dig through at least 8 results of paywalled or possibly AI-generated pages for almost every Google query; seriously, I just did a search for 'python concatenate list' on google and it was worse than I expected - the official docs weren't even on the first two pages and even the helpful Stack Overflow answers were the 5th result down - give it a go, the results are trash.
I google things at least 20 times a day, and probably so do you. I would pay for something that can cut out the bollocks - if Kagi can follow through, they'll have a customer.
I don't think web search is still important enough for me to pay for. A year ago it would have been. I originally signed up with kagi but I wasn't too impressed and then they came with the limited plans and that was it. Not sure if I'll go back now.
And yeah like the article says it was priced for "silicon valley bros". Even $10 is a lot on a Spanish salary still. But it's doable and 300 for $5 is a decent deal IMO. I wouldn't do that many.
I've thought about it several times, enough that I did track my searches for a week. Between work, hobbies, and just life I searched (overwhelmingly DDG and Bing) over a thousand times in a week. (A evening of prep for my tabletop RPG racked up over a hundred all by itself.)
I've bailed on Google - wading though the flood of SEO'd garbage just stopped being worth it. Bing and DDG have been mostly working, but I definitely feel like they're missing something. $10 a month is definitely worth it to try it out, and if it works for me, worth it to keep paying. I'd been hesitating because worrying about my search count seemed like a substantial negative for me.
That's a lot!
I perform 500-900 searches a month.
I really enjoy Kagi's caching image search; it often lets me avoid visiting websites when I'm just looking for graphics. Going on Kagi and reading summaries and viewing cached material gives me the "I don't feel like going out" vibe, but on the Internet. One step closer to offline.
It’s not that I am involved in shady business, but I do look up strange things from time to time.
How do others feel about this?
(I feel like there is a need for a private, maybe even local, search?)
There needs to be a healthy decentralized, open source approach to search. If people can hope to train and infer with LLM's locally why not the relatively "low IQ" search index that doesnt even violate copyright? The two are increasingly facets of the same thing.
Btw you should try recoll for local search.
Open source business models are not the easiest but a team could easily fund things with corporate oriented customizations.
Maybe Kagi itself should try this path.
In any case the next phase of AI enabled computing will require some bold thinking and acting, but above all, having a moral compass.
I've dabbled with a multitude of search engines recently and that is one thing badly missing from Bing.
Kagi has done a much better job of respecting where I live, though it has had a few minor misses that Google produced (maybe after wading through some crap).
I'm very happy with this service. Worth every cent and then some.
I prefer to pay for the services that I use with money rather than with my personal data, which may be used against mine or my fellow citizen‘s interest.
Even paying for Kagi, I still go back to Google for any really open-ended searches where the search engine's ML can actually be helpful. For known-item searches ("fandango showtimes Seattle"), or simple searches ("pumpkin bread recipe") which are fully 90%+ of what I search for, Kagi is just fine, and they aren't after my identity (just my money).
Core Front-end Team
Passion for creating delightful and swift user interfaces.
Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and _an understanding that JavaScript can be used sparingly to enhance, not create, product experiences._
Ability to prototype rapidly.
Fun fact: At Kagi, we prioritize speed, to the point where *all functionalities of Kagi Search (except Stripe checkout and Maps) work perfectly without JavaScript*. We see JavaScript as a tool to enhance the UX, not create it.
But this… they might be winning my heart.
This doesn’t matter to me at all. When will people quit trying to hold the web back for their own self served interests?
If supporting Kagi means supporting this idea that javascript should die, I doubt I’ll sign up.
When the prices hiked with very short notice, they were potentially going to lose money on every search, until they figured out their next move. I believe at the time they said they wanted to bring unlimited back when they could make it work financially. And it's nice to see a company do what they say on that front, for a change :)
As another commenter said, it's unusual to see a company reduce prices as it becomes successful, but I think that will help to deliver even more user growth by reducing the friction to adoption, and also showing that they're true to their word even when it comes to reducing pricing.
Kagi is basically now my daily use search engine apart from Startpage.
The bangs feature, where you can use a quick command to search popular sites like Wikipedia, reddit, Youtube, etc is great, and doesn't count towards your search limit.
And I'm really looking forward to using the Universal Summarizer feature which is included with these new $10 rate.
Keep up the great work lads & lasses!
Kagi users, how good is Kagi for non-English searches?
Admittedly, I haven't said anywhere that I prefer Danish results when the query is the same in two languages. My operating system and browser are not configured to reveal my nationality. The only way Kagi would know is if they factored in my IP address. Which I can deduce that they don't. I prefer it that way.
There is a discussion[1] on this topic on the forum.
The last thing I've still been using Google for was looking up which Dutch retailers sold the product I was looking for. But now I see that was unnecessary.
My biggest complaint with Kagi is not their fault - it's the inability to set custom search engines on Safari (and no, I'm not interested in installing a custom browser extension).
It's not a 100% clone of Safari, but it's now matured far beyond a "scratching their own itch" project to enable custom search engines - it gives you the performance and power efficiency of safari, with the option to run most Firefox or Chrome extensions (by implementing the extension APIs in WebKit).
The iOS version isn't quite as mature as the Mac version (which is definitely usable as your main browser), but it's getting there.
A lot of times the results are better on Kagi than Google, but not by much. It makes sense they're similar since Kagi uses Google's index (among others).
Not in my experience, and what about user tracking and pervasive advertising? You don't seem to include that in your comparison.
With that in mind I wonder if Kagi would be worth having ads for a free version but be super clear what the ads are based on. E.g purely based on 1) search KW and 2) IP location of the search. Nothing more and nothing additional stored.
I wonder if privacy minded people would be happy with that as it's very limited data in today's ad world, a massive improvement on anything else, plus you can turn if off if you want to pay.
I also suspect it would be ~80% as good for advertisers as so much of the rich segmenting advertisers like to pitch has limited to zero effect and KW/location are the big 2 variables.
Advertising is a lot of work, and introduces a lot of tension into the business model. Spotify premium showed me "promoted content" last week (but they promise it's not an ad). They also accept payola for placement in discover weekly playlists, which means their features are useless to me. There's no reason to encourage Kagi to go down that route. They have a good business model that they and their customers are happy with.
If advertisers become their customers, then the incentives might start to break just a little at a time. As long as you’re the (only) one paying them, you’re the customer. It’s a big part of why I trust them so much.
We are kinda priced out when keeping the PPP in mind.
Say $1-$2 for 100-200 queries?
Here is Stripe (used by Kagi):
2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge + 0.5% for manually entered cards + 1.5% for international cards + 1% if currency conversion is required
So if you pay $1, Kagi gets something like $0.65, meaning it just lost 35% on the payment processing fee. There is no way this can be profitable to serve the service.
Have you done a formal price optimization? There are no priced competitors to pressure you to stick to a price point so you have leeway to experiment.
$10/month can get you terabytes of media on streaming platforms.
$1-2/month is what I would pay.
I think it's a fair price if you live in the US. I'd pay it, except I don't live in the US and our currency isn't great at the moment, and I don't exactly get overpaid at my job, and the cost of everything is rising, so I personally can't afford it ATM. But it seems reasonable to me.
For the average person, there's no real difference between $2/mo and $10/mo. They're both in that "more expensive than free, but not expensive enough to think about" category.
I can buy potatoes that last me for a week for the same price as for what I'd pay to just get a coffee, but if I've already bought my potatoes and have money to spare, why couldn't I buy also the coffee?
Well... I do, but not the broad internet. I search the places that have the information I want -- Ansible docs, VCS, etc.
I've solved this 'problem' completely for free
This is a change in good direction, and I’ll happily check it once again.
Nothing to complain about here, just overall very pleased.
The anonymous payment options are cumbersome. Why not do something like Mullvad with scratch-off vouchers sold on Amazon?
If you’re asking how you know whether you can trust them when they say that, I don’t think there’s any way they can conclusively prove it.
For comparison, I pay $3/month for mightytext. Which is a tool for Android that lets me send/view/search text messages on my phone from any browser. I'd pay $10/month for it, but kagi doesn't give me nearly that much value
Note: currently Kagi doesn't track search history; I hope they find a way to enable it in the future.
So, I would take these promises with a few grains of salt. For the purpose of improving their product they actually need to know how people are using it. So, they have to balance quality of their product with privacy. More privacy means their engineers are not getting all the information they need to do the best that they can. And they are competing with companies that are not holding back on that front. So, there's a bit of tension there.
Of course the fact that it's a paid product, allows them to make some stronger guarantees and build in business friendly wording into their terms of use beyond just promising that it's all fine. The flip side is that you have to sign in to use the product and prove that you paid for it. So, you can't use it anonymously.
IMHO, they should target the SAAS market and offer to make stronger guarantees to companies that are legitimately worried about their intellectual property leaking via search queries. Having people happily dump whatever in a Google query actually potentially gives Google a lot of insight into what these companies are doing. Including their direct competitors. And I'm sure they solemnly swear that they'd be doing no such thing but the temptation to tap into that is probably enormous for them. I can imagine a few companies that would pay a premium to cut off that particular flow of information. Those per seat deals that get sold by the dozens/hundreds are potentially worth a lot. B2C sales is a lot harder than B2B. And of course access to services like this is also a nice perk for employees.
I live in San Francisco, and if I type "sf weather" into Google, I get a weather forecast for San Francisco. If I type "sf weather" into Kagi, I get a weather forecast for Santa Fe, which, while technically a valid result for those search terms, is useless to me. Similarly, it's easy to search for restaurants and get search results for other restaurants of the same name in different cities.
But most of my searches aren't location-sensitive, and Kagi does a great job the rest of the time.
Genuinely curious. Have tried Kagi and found results to be mediocre at best compared to DDG.
For me, if it is related to my job, I am usually going straight to the docs, language forums, and sometimes stack overflow. It's only if I am looking up a specific error that I do a general search (although that is getting harder and harder as more words are ignored).
Personally, I rarely search. Music related? Straight to Metal Archives. Tv/Movie related? straight to tmdb.org. General Reference? Wikipedia. Stats/Facts? WolframAlpha.
I'd say I use a general search engine only a few times a week total.
My two main complaints:
- It's not very good with conversions. Say searching '120mph in kmh' doesn't work. Or the little widget with conversions that do work like '120cm in m' doesn't allow to change the input and change values on the fly.
- The image search is super slow for whatever reason. It takes about 5 seconds before images show when doing a search.
120 mph in km/h does work, though. I don't think "kmh" is a normal abbreviation. This is the first time I see it.
Admittedly $10 still seems kinda steep for something I get for free already. But maybe I should just try it out for a month and my mind might change.
And this is why surveillance capitalism is so effective.
If it helps, think about it in yearly terms. They offer a small discount for annual payments. Is $108 per year an amount you are really going to miss, for something that gives you daily (even hourly) value?
(I get that for many many many people in the world, $108 is a significant sum, even yearly, but I expect that most of us here are luck enough to not be in that boat.)
It would be interesting where the "language barrier" drops in.
I’m eager to see where Kagi goes from here. I’m skeptical that it’ll expand beyond people in the tech industry and their close relatives, but maybe that’s not a bad thing if it’s sustainable for them long term.
On the cybersecurity front there are so many research articles, conference videos, and news articles just constantly flooding your feeds. There was an article on HN recently about the importance of "Critical Ignoring", to know what to ignore.
This has been a key tool in speeding that process up. Especially conference materials and news articles. They have such clickbait titles, it can be hard to determine what is legit and what is obvious. For news you can get a use the source as a fairly decent gauge on what the articles will be (quality wise). But for conference materials it is so hard. Summarization with the "Key Moments" lets you quickly determine if I should dig in more or not.
The Discuss option is super helpful on huge framework/audit documents to help you figure out is this the standard that requires xyz vs the other one. Once i know i'm in the right doc then i can zero in on what I was looking for.
Presenting Kagi as a tool for use in our larger Principal/Architect team next week. Will be very interested in Enterprise/Corporate plans once they are a thing.
Thanks for all the work Vlad (and team)!
Good job Kagi, seriously!
I still think though that in many countries it's still high.
At least from my friend group, <5$/mo is the price where most would stop "thinking about it" and just subscribe to try the service after a friend recommendation. You would probably retain most users that would otherwise never have tried it in the first place. I rely on search for work daily, and I want to support non-ad-supported business, so I'm biased. If most users don't really reach the original 1000q/mo, then more regular "non-power" users could offset the cost. Or maybe that's already factored in the current pricing.
Either way, I did enjoy kagi quite a bit on the first beta, so I knew exactly what I was in for. But if I would have subscribed as a test with the 100 initial queries I don't think I would have got attached to it. It took me a while to trust the result and compare it with other search engines to get a feeling for the service.
Also, if anyone finds it substantially better, could you give some example queries on which it does better?
I consider myself as a heavy search engine user but, based on Kagi stats, I was surprised how much less I actually searched compared to my estimate. My actual range is about 500-800 queries a month when I originally estimated upwards 1500 queries a month.
Same thing with my friends.
Any chance of some bonuses for the early adopter people ? Totally get that you want to keep "Ultimate" it's own higher tier thing but maybe there's an in between ?

edit: You can switch pro-rated, nice.
and it seems to be working fine?
When I'm writing code I tend to search a lot, and I'd resigned myself to not using kagi because I didn't really want to bump up to the $25 plan.
Also what specific features are in the mysterious Ultimate plan?
And what was the domain before it was a search engine?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12200972
Thanks!
Ultimate used to be unlimited searches.
Now that the Professional plan is unlimited, this seems like a quick attempt to provide some value to those with Ultimate. My bet is that many will move to Professional, those who stay will mainly do it for the support, and the mystery is just a cherry on top. I'm guessing extended API and AI features are among the coming features.
The search UI seems broken on my Firefox due to some absolute styling. I had to set this in my Stylus config to fix
.auto_suggestions { padding: 0; top: unset; }
The auto suggestions were appearing over the top of the search bar due to unruly top css.
When I hit Advanced search, and then click Podcasts (or any) without a search query, it gives a "tab switch" like behaviour.
Given that behaviour, When I enter a search term and hit enter Then as a user, I expect the search term to search based on the category I'd selected.
What I get Given I've selected podcasts without a search term entered When I enter a search term and press "Search" button Then I get sent to the generic search page for that search term, not the expected category I'd selected on the prior page.
I don't use any of the other features.
If you get results that don't match your search term and try to filter them you actually get more of the bad results.
That's a product that flat out doesn't work in my opinion.
What are you offering me that is worth $10 more than just using DDG?
This couldn’t have come at a better time as I was a bit hesitant to add another subscription while still keeping in mind the additional searches I might have to pay on top. Signed up for a year!
It's also not clear if there are device/location limits for an account. I use a lot of devices and travel quite a bit.
The search limits are per account. As long as you’re signed in, you’ll be fine.
Edit: Also, the browser is WebKit, not Chromium. That’s why it’s Apple-only.
I'd love to see a upvote/downvote system per query/result, as another ranking metric. Especially if it can cluster recommendations by "users like me", similar to how Netflix recommendations used to work.
Maybe don't apply it to political searches, lol, but for everyday queries I'd find that really useful.
>NOTE: The Search API is currently only available to customers of the Kagi Teams plan. Please reach out to vlad@kagi.com for invite.
https://help.kagi.com/kagi/api/search.html
It sounds like an excellent product, but I don't want to be forced to use their client/interface; I want to be able to make my own.
I only did that for the unlimited searches!
I don't feel like I'm a heavy user, but after nearly 4 days of usage, seems like I typically do ~30 searches per day, but hit 60 searches on one of the days.
It's still early days, but I'm enjoying Kagi so far. I think the biggest problem I'm having is a sort of psychological block that when I run a search I expect to see Google.
Specially in programming, when the right article or stack overflow can save you an afternoon, the “I wonder if I would get better results if I was using Google” feeling is hard to shake.
Too many decades, I guess. I’m rooting for something like Kagi, though. I’m glad to pay $10 for such an essencial tool. And I’ll eventually be over that hump if it proves to be as good or better consistently.
However I experimented last week by running all my searches (work and personal) in DDG (my default) and then also in Kagi. And basically they either both had the best result first, or sometimes second or third. Definitely not a $10/month difference for me.
The mental gymnastic of having to decide if a search is worth using Kagi for, ended up in my not really using Kagi..
This unlimited (and reasonably priced) solves this, thanks!
> How to Handle Exceptions in Python: A Detailed Visual...
A search on DuckDuckGo displays the complete title.
I've kept it thus far because I believe in the mission but man... I get why other promising search engines have fallen to Google.
and only those with means can afford to not be sold.
And e.g. get high-quality search results.
Ugh.
For comparison, I pay $5 a month for my phone carrier with unlimited everything.
The example (https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs) doesn't seem to respect my system theme on macOS.
Any plans to let you paste in text or a PDF yet? It's quite annoying to have to upload the audio files somewhere to get a summary.
I already have too many subscription services. $10 for some occasional weekend web searches won't do.
A recurring subscription plan for something like this makes no sense to me personally.
- search results are greats !
- the speed isn't that great (results can take more than 1s to show) : does it become faster once you pay for it ? Or maybe it has to do with the access from europe.
I’d say local searches are a little rough still but otherwise have rarely needed the g! bang
1. Family Plans: I prefer managing things for the family
2. Unlimited: Usage-based risk was too high even if I wouldn't have used it to the high end.
Is this going to change as well?
however, i'd like to point out that in my understanding, most of my $10 will go to google, in kagi's payment for their search service, rather than support kagi or their mission.
please correct me if that's not the case.
and yet I am not understanding WHY :)
You can even create your own goggle and narrow down searches to whatever you want. I wish Kagi supported that as well.
I can't do a long demo like I did with DDG because of the free limits, and $5-10 is a lot of money for me right now. So I ask here.
Quality search is priceless.
thanks for the discount
I love seeing the success of kagi! I’m an early adopter and the search results quality plus the hidden gems plus the ability to customize them is just fantastic!
A example of customization that I’ve been experimenting is lowering a bit the results from stackoverflow to see official documentation first, it’s been working like a charm!
Thanks again for making kagi in spite of all the naysayers!
This change will make a lot of other people like myself a lot more comfortable with signing up I bet.
Firefox fans need to know that by using Kagi you're hurting Firefox (and Mozilla) as they are completely dependent and need to beg for Google's millions for being the default search engine.
Unlimited Kagi searches at $10 is still unsustainable vs free Google searches. By default, Kagi will either (eventually) raise prices or reduce them to compete in the race to zero on search with Google already at the finish line.
So please continue the 'celebrations'.
