1000 searches are included in the $10 plan. Currently you are offered the option to pay for additional searches at 1.5 cents per search. Not ideal we know, but someone needs to pay for those, and the notice you received is courtesy (you can also remove it). How would you handle this differently?

At least my render of the pricing page gives that 700 searches per day are included in the $10 plan, with additional searches priced at ¢1.5. So 1000 searches would be $14.5 plus conversion fee if you don't have a dollar account.

It's 700 per month, not per day.

Ah, yes! That was a mistype from me, I meant to echo the previous comment but lower the count.

As they said, give multiple notices in advance.

Maybe some kind of warning when getting close to the existing tier limit?

eg "You're getting close to your 1000 search limit at your current pricing (800/1000)".

I'm trying to think of better wording, but having a hard time of it. ;)

I'd like to be warned before hitting a hard limit, in whichever way. E.g. warning emails ("You've reached 80% of your quota"), or a meter on the search page.

From a higher POV, I like GPT-4's smaller time windows way better (x queries within 4 hour window). I hate to be "locked out" of search for a whole week. A few hours wouldn't feel that bad.

Kagi are very open about their policy to submit feedback, bugs, and feature requests at https://kagifeedback.org/. I've not submitted anything Kagi Search, but I've submitted a few features and performance issues/bugs to their Orion feedback. I got replies from Vlad and Kagi employees within 12 hours. Feel free to suggest this as feedback I'd say...

GGP comment is from Vlad so I answered him here.

Aha, look at that.

You can set your own notices in Kagi and you are never locked out of searching (as you can adjust limits yourself). We do not plan to invest more in these features as we'd like to walk towards the world where we can remove limits again.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll have a look.
