I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That’s a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.

Do you find that your searches are higher quality than something like, say, DuckDuckGo?

Yeah, I’d say they’re pretty comparable. And you can add filters, so like for example, I have all of Reddit blocked out from searches.

That reddit filter will have less than an effect than it used to. Reddit blocked all crawlers except google.

Oh 100%. You can try kagi out on a free trial, which is what I’m on. It’s nice because you get different search results that aren’t constrained to the Google algorithm.

What I mean by this, I search for recipes a lot, on Google all the recipes are identical. When I use Kagi, they differ with the main search team I want.

I plan on using Kagi and subbing when I have the money.

It’s better to pay for a product than be the product imho.

edit: for the recipes I mean on Google it’s the same promoted main steam food network bs, etc every. Single. Time. With Kagi I feel like it’s smaller people with recipes with more relevancy to the terms I type in.
