    Yeah kagi looks quite good to me but I just can’t justify their asking price.

    3€ / month for unlimited searches is probably as far as Id go. Hopefully they find a way to lower prices in the future and capture a wider audience.

      You’re apparently worth something like $40/month to Google.

      So they’re already at a competitive disadvantage to services where you are the product and not the customer.

      Stuff’s not free.

      I guess that’s not really possible at the moment because kagi sources their data from other providers where each one of them charges by usage. They’re banking on their users to not search as much so they can be profitable, which means they’re incentivized to make their search result good so their users won’t repeatedly search same topics over and over.
