> This seems cool, but I still think the pricing of kagi is rather steep. It is $5/mo for 300 searches a month, which is really going to get you under 10 a day... That's insufficient.
You can split your searches with search engine shortcuts on the desktop, and the search engine quickbar on mobile.
When I still was on the starter plan, I used Kagi whenever I had a search that if I use google, I know I will:
- get a bunch of listicles and AI slop (Kagi downranks and bundles these)
- get a buch of AI images (again, Kagi clearly labels and downranks these)
- have to do multiple google searches for, but can instead use Quick Answer for
- will get a bunch of Reddit pre-translated results for
- technical / scientific questions, because of the sites I can uprank/downrank/block
I used google for things like:
- highest building in the world
- $bandname Wikipedia / Discogs
- name of thing I can't remember but have the approximate word for
You get the idea.
