I’ve stopped using it. I now bounce around alternatives but Kagi is the best and my go to now. Here are some alternatives to consider:
Thank you for bringing up Kagi, I had never heard of it before. An intriguing idea for sure and I am not averse to paying for searches, but as a serial Google-fu practitioner $10/month for 1000 searches (1.5c per search after) seems quite steep to me. Some days I swear that would last me 24 hours at most. I need to start tracking that I think.
I do however applaud the seeming transparency on their website. It may or may not be for me, but if they really plan to operate how they lay out on their website, it truly is a breath of fresh air and I wish them luck.
Comparing the pricing on a “search value” basis is compelling, but I’ll be damned if I can’t find concrete details on what they actually do differently. Just looks like a lot of marketing-speak.
E.g., do they have humans reviewing the results? Or is it just LLM crap? Because if it’s more AI bullshit, they can fuck right off to where the Titanic and Titan lay.
