For comparison, Kagi charges $12 per 1000 searches (only talking about their API pricing, like what you’d use with an LLM; their $10/mo plan has unlimited searches but it’s a TOS violation to use those credentials with an LLM).

>it’s a TOS violation

Competitor uruky is more relaxed about api and is cheaper. Creator is active on hn

    Thanks for sharing, wasn't aware of this provider. If anyone is wondering about rate limits for the subscription:

    >We calculate search rates based on the timestamps of the last searches of a user (just the timestamps, not the queries or anything else!). We keep those timestamps for 12 hours, then discard them. We currently limit searches to 5 per 5 seconds, 15 per minute, and 120 per hour.

    API: https://uruky.com/docs/api

    In other words, good enough for casual use if you were already going to subscribe. Assuming the rate limits are okay, Uruky’s €5/month becomes cheaper at these search volumes:

    1. Tavily Basic: 1,704 searches/month

    2. Brave Search: 2,126 searches/month

    3. Exa Fast / Auto: 2,233 searches/month

    4. Exa Instant: 3,907 searches/month

    5. DeepSeek Search: 7,503 searches/month

    6. Ceramic: 22,507 searches/month

      I ended up building an MCP that pulls results from multiple places and dedups it.

      The free tiers on most are generous enough for normal agent MCP usage

      Also...pretty sure decodo just launched a search thingie
