    So I just wrote out a whole big long thing about how I tested multiple searches and Kagi served up the best results out of them all. But apparently my comment didn’t stick :/

    Anyway, I would love to use Kagi but it would be incredibly expensive for us. The family plan wouldn’t work because I use more than 2,000 searches in a month and with the exchange rate, the unlimited plan comes out at $40, plus whatever plan my spouse used or another $30 if the rest of the fam wanted to use it.

    What I would love to see is if ISPs picked up Kagi. They make a deal for discounted plans from Kagi which they then offer to customers as an addon to their internet plan. Kagi gets more money coming in and regularly and people get to use Kagi at an affordable rate.

    At the moment, Kagi is just another service providing privacy and usefulness only to those who can afford it. The poor (and ignorant) still have to content to be the product and give up privacy :(

      I read their pricing info and I get where they’re coming from, but it is expensive for an average user. Maybe if people adopt it, prices will come down? I have no problem with people making money on good ideas… but I also get that it gets expensive to pay for all these services. Between Proton, Tresorit, and my other services… I pay a fair bit for the extra protection.
