I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That’s a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.

Do you find that your searches are higher quality than something like, say, DuckDuckGo?
Yeah, I’d say they’re pretty comparable. And you can add filters, so like for example, I have all of Reddit blocked out from searches.
Oh 100%. You can try kagi out on a free trial, which is what I’m on. It’s nice because you get different search results that aren’t constrained to the Google algorithm.
What I mean by this, I search for recipes a lot, on Google all the recipes are identical. When I use Kagi, they differ with the main search team I want.
I plan on using Kagi and subbing when I have the money.
It’s better to pay for a product than be the product imho.
edit: for the recipes I mean on Google it’s the same promoted main steam food network bs, etc every. Single. Time. With Kagi I feel like it’s smaller people with recipes with more relevancy to the terms I type in.
Oh, wow. I’ve made 1,065 in July alone! My 7-month average (from January 2024 through today) is 811/month.
Oh wow. That’s a whole different league of searching. LOL.
I didn’t know if 300 would be enough, so I ended up with the Professional account. It was a good call as I hit 300 searches in a week!
That being said, Kagi is worth every cent, its search results are much better than many of the underdog search engines, and even out does Google for me on a regular basis. Kagi’s AI results are also really good and also cites its sources so you can fact check yourself. (I think Bing’s copilot does similar, but I wasn’t that impressed with it when I tried it a while ago)
I only hit the 300 search quota back in March, just on the last day of that month’s plan. I do like the service, but I’m uncertain on Vlad so I’ve established using other services.
