[–] priapus@lemmy.one 9 points 3 years ago (5 children) I'm considering switching to Kagi because of this. Its results are impressive. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] camr_on@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago This is the first I've heard of Kagi, how does it compare to duckduckgo? permalink fedilink source parent [–] plisken@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I was amped for Kagi when I first heard about it. But they bumped the price up after the LMM boom. Still might have to bite the bullet as part of desire to use paid ad-free services. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kosmoz@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago Depending on how much you use it, it might not be that much worse though... The old price was 10$/mo for unlimited searches. Now they offer different tiers starting at 5$/mo for 300 searches. Personally, I use about 300-500 searches per month, so my monthly bill is actually less than it used to be (5-7$). permalink fedilink source parent [–] drwho@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago I've been tinkering with it a bit. It's okay so far. For work stuff it's been somewhat helpful (though the problems I'm solving appear to have nothing to do with the code I was debugging). Considering getting a personal subscription to kick the tires for a month or so. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nhgeek@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Seems nice based on my trial but they are really pushing the envelope on my price tolerance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lenninscjay@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) 5/mo is too much I think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yacht_boy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago I'm not sure what to think about the price. I can't really imagine life without a search engine, even though I was alive for a couple of decades before search engines existed. I pay $400/month for my car, but my search engine arguably gives me more value (I am lucky not to need to drive a lot). I wouldn't pay $400/month for a search engine. But $5-10 to have a degree of freedom from the tracking and results that aren't just trying to get my money? I am intrigued. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chris@l.roofo.cc 1 point 3 years ago I switched and I'm happy. I rarely use the !g shebang to see if google has anything more useful and it rarely has. permalink fedilink source parent
