I paid for the lower plan for a while. It didn’t have nearly enough searches included for my use, and the higher plan was too expensive. Especially since I just wanted search, none of the other products they were busy developing.

Search results were good. Recently I’m using Qwant and I’m happy with that as well, so right now I don’t miss having access to Kagi at all. With the limited number of searches it was more of an inconvenience than a benefit the period I was using it.

There are some questionable things about Kagi. A few years ago the CEO reeked out this tweet showcasing how Kagi AI could call out the BBC for being too mean to Elon Musk, which is honestly enough of a red flag for me to steer clear.
