    I’ve heard good things about Kagi, but I can’t justify the cost (especially as its USD)

      If it were half the cost or if all the tiers had unlimited searches I’d probably subscribe, but I don’t want to ration the searches the way I used to have to ration dialup minutes.

        This is what I felt about Neeva, too. Metered searches meant I only used it when I “needed” it… By which point I was mired in search results and focused on my Google Fu and completely forgot about Neeva.

        I get that it costs money to run, but they needed a long free trial to get me hooked, then a reasonably priced unlimited tier. I was never going to use a site that restricts my search volume.

          There was a limit to Neeva? I payed $55/year for unlimited searches, but maybe I was in some tier that became unavailable or something.

          I think that has set my price expectations.

            iirc, their trial tier was 100 searches total, or something like. I could never adequately test it so I never converted to a paid user.

      @irasponsible I am on month 2 of paying for Kagi, and I am not sure it’s worth it at the current price point. I enjoy the privacy and speed, but not 10 dollars a month enjoy.

        even at US$5 a month, I don’t know. I feel like most searches I do are just to get to the website I already know the name of, and I’d blow through 300 pretty fast.
