      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$).

      Seems nice based on my trial but they are really pushing the envelope on my price tolerance.

          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 switched and I’m happy. I rarely use the !g shebang to see if google has anything more useful and it rarely has.
