I'm very happy with kagi at the moment. Just crossed one year using it as my main search engine last week and don't see why I would go back.
Is it really $108/year good though for a single person (based on the tier that makes sense for me)? Just curious what other search engines you’ve used or tried and what features set it apart to make it worth spending the money on.
It's the first one I've paid for. And it is that much better than the free ones I used before imho.
That really depends on your use case and how valuable web search is for your daily life.
I've personally tried Google, Bing, DDG, Brave search, and ChatGPT. Kagi is consistently able to find what I'm searching for more quickly and accurately than anything else, which has been very valuable for me in my personal and professional life.
It's easily worth the cost in result quality and time saving for me personally, but that doesn't mean the same will apply to you or anyone else.
As far as stand out features, there aren't really any that I can think of. It just gives me the results I'm looking for without any bullshit to wade through.
