Let's be real here, 10 bucks is what you spend on a not even very great sandwhich. It's not insane to pay that for what is one of the more important tools in modern life.

Its 10 bucks. For a tool that searches the sum of human knowledge. Your ancestors would be ashamed.

If you're paying more than 10 bucks for a sandwich, you're getting robbed. If you're paying $10 a month for technology that used to be free everywhere, and that worked in the previous millennium, you're getting robbed.

You're right, but it's not Kagi Search that is doing the robbing: it's all the ad-tech aggressors of the last decade plus.

It was never free. You just weren't paying directly for it.

Would you pay $10 for the best sandwich in the world? It's just a sandwich, but it's the best in the world. Would you pay $10 for the best search engine in the world? It's just a search engine, but the best in the world.
