    I’m extremely happy with the results on Kagi. Setting up my own ‘page-rank’ with their search customizations is a godsend to get rid of any unwanted sites and promoted the sources I know I’ll come back to.

    I’m a bit turned off the pricing though, especially since last month I blew through 1000 searches before the end of last month so currently back to Google, but frustrated by every second search or so.

        Thanks! Replying so I remember to check them out tomorrow, but I’ll probably eventually relent and get unlimited too. With how much I apparently use it, probably worth it in the end 😅

      This is my second month with them, but I have managed to stay under the 300 so far. Admittedly, I dont have it on my phone where I do quite a few searches throughout the day–but those searches are usually not-important or I want them to be tied into the google services (like maps). I should set it up though to get a true count of my web searches.

      But I 100% find myself going to kagi for anything I really want an answer to. I can’t think of a single time where I’ve had to fall back to google or bing (which I found myself doing all the time with duckduckgo and ecosia). Like I said, if I end up needing to spend $10+/month I’d gladly do it. I get more value out of kagi than I do half of the services I play for.
