$10 isn’t a high price, but it starts to hurt when you lump it on top of all the other fees and expenses most people have every month. Also that’s in US dollars - here in Canada, for example, the price is 50% higher before tax. It adds up fast.
My email is used constantly every day for both personal use and my self-employed business. It costs me $1.50CAD per month.
Thank you! Precisely my thoughts. I was a paying Kagi customer for a year, but compared to e.g. Brave’s on search index, their results were not vastly superior. I never got into using all those fancy search !bangs or custom prioritizations for individual sites and >90% of their changelog updates in that 1 year were about which additional new LLM was now also available for Ultimate Tier customers - but I didn’t come to Kagi for LLM assistants. That’s didn’t use to be their value proposition.
It just seems like a high price for what you get, considering that running a searx instance costs nothing. There being no way to pay for it anonymously also makes me less willing to pay that much.
You can’t afford $10/month for something you use many times per day? Are you paying for any streaming services? Those cost way more per daily use.
