    QFT right here. I just started using Kagi this month after being very impressed by the trial period. The $5/month starter plan gives an average of 10 searches per day. It doesnt seem like much but that’s a decent amount of searching for my personal use case. Truth be told I’ll probably end up going for the family plan at $20/month. Up to six users with unlimited search for less than a Netflix subscription.
