Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

I'm actually in my first month as a paying subscriber. I've tried their 100 queries trial and was pretty happy with the results. However, with my current search profile I definitely need the $10 subsription, if not more. I'm honestly not sure their new pricing model makes sense at all. It seems way to expensive for the average person or poweruser alike.

I'll decide whether I stay a customer after this month, when I have a better impression of all the features and shortcomings of the service.
