A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.
$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.
