Hey sorry if this has been asked before. I checked and didn’t see any posts, but basically is the kagi search engine worth it? I’m gearing up to cancel Hulu/spotify so I’ll have a little more money in the monthly budget and Kagi is one of the things I’m considering
Currently I use DuckDuckGo and it’s pretty good for me, but the main thing that makes me interested in Kagi is the ability to rank websites so they appear more or less often and the filter by type like academic sources or Reddit only.
I don’t really like ai stuff (not inherently, it’s just shoved into everything so I’ve come to hate it) but it seems pretty unobtrusive in Kagi?
I want to hear from people who actually pay for and use Kagi. Is the 300 searches a month enough for you or do most of you need the unlimited search plan? I know about the free trial but I want to know about the long term user experience
Edit: Thank you to everyone who responded!! I learned a lot about Kagi and I think I’m gonna end up getting the 300/mo plan and see if it’s enough for me. Thanks again! <3
I love kagi and I’m questioning if my level of commitment is to renew for another year and year after that. I find pricey but worth it. The Internet is better without ads being pushed down your throat. The only thing that’d make it perfect is having map service to Google level. Open street maps is not there yet but is a fun time mapping my surroundings, however the level of usefulness of Google maps is still unmatched for me. Otherwise, Kagi has been amazing and I recommend them, I hope they trigger true competition in the search markets because when the search engines work for ads instead of people the Internet is so much worse
