It's not even comparable in quality... When I was using it, I had to resort to Google search every day to get good results.
I won't lie, I was really dubious on the idea of paying for search, but after the demo I really came around and signed up for the year. Kagi results are far and away better than anything else on 90% of my queries. The only thing I miss is, when you use google in your searchbar, you can use it as a calculator. E.g. if I type "13 * 42", the top suggestion is "= 546", you don't even have to press enter.. So I got really used to using that as my default calculator. But Kagi just blanks you, so I've had to start keeping a desktop calculator open all the time lol
They can probably fix that, they are very open to suggestions, unlike Google. Mail them about it :)
In my experience the quality is just fine on duckduckgo.
It's a bit different because they aren't tailoring based on all the data google has about you but it's still good.
