  No fucking way I’m paying a subscription to search something on the Internet. 5$ for 300 searches, lol.

    Beyond that, the money is still going to Google, Yandex, Brave, Bing etc via API payments. If they actually created their own search engine that was any good I’d be more inclined to pay for access.

    I have been looking at kagi but their pricing is definitely made to force people to buy the professional $10 package.

    100 or even 300 searches/day would be unusable for me, you quickly spend 10 searches refining a query for something special, and when developing you do like 5-10 searches/hour.

    A fair pricing model would be

    • $2/month for 1000 searches/day
    • $5/month for 5000 searches/day
    • $10/month for unlimited everything

    Paying for the Reddit API would be cheaper. That’s an impressively overpriced search engine.

    Oh shit, it’s 5 dollars? That’s like… A cup of coffee. You are right, way too much, so much money.

    I split the duo plan with a friend and do annual and it’s $6.30/month for unlimited searches.

  Ad based search engines make almost $300 a year off their users

  What disingenuous phrasing.

  I’d be up for using a product like this, but their popcorn pricing and snark is really off-putting, so I’ll never be using this service.
