Re:Update to Kagi Search Pricing on Thursday March 09, 2023 @03:52AM (#35079444)
If I pay $10/month for 700 searches then the price for these 700 searches is $10/month, they are not free. The price per query for the additional searches is just higher.

Fair, thank you for pointing that out. The idea of paying per query for a search engine seems so alien to me that I just skipped over this option.

If the subscription price is not zero, the included searches are not free. In this regard, the wording of the pricing page mockup and this blog post is dishonest - or at the very least inaccurate.

Not a fan of the changes otherwise. I average around 1200 searches per month which would require me to get the unlimited plan. $120/year was already a steep price compared to my other yearly subscription costs:

- VPN: §50

- Broadband internet: $230

- Mobile subscription: $290

Not willing to pay more to Kagi than to my ISP and not willing to use more than one search engine.

I purchased the aformentioned book after reading this comment out of interest (happily married so I don't care about dating anymore). After about 70 pages I have to say that I am not impresed at all. A bullet point list with these "undercover sex signals" would have done.

In my view nothing more than badly written psychobabble which probably does more harm than good.
