If it were half the cost or if all the tiers had unlimited searches I’d probably subscribe, but I don’t want to ration the searches the way I used to have to ration dialup minutes.
This is what I felt about Neeva, too. Metered searches meant I only used it when I “needed” it… By which point I was mired in search results and focused on my Google Fu and completely forgot about Neeva.
I get that it costs money to run, but they needed a long free trial to get me hooked, then a reasonably priced unlimited tier. I was never going to use a site that restricts my search volume.
@irasponsible I am on month 2 of paying for Kagi, and I am not sure it’s worth it at the current price point. I enjoy the privacy and speed, but not 10 dollars a month enjoy.
even at US$5 a month, I don’t know. I feel like most searches I do are just to get to the website I already know the name of, and I’d blow through 300 pretty fast.
I’ve heard good things about Kagi, but I can’t justify the cost (especially as its USD)

There was a limit to Neeva? I payed $55/year for unlimited searches, but maybe I was in some tier that became unavailable or something.
I think that has set my price expectations.
iirc, their trial tier was 100 searches total, or something like. I could never adequately test it so I never converted to a paid user.
Boom, I’m in the same boat.

I pay for it, it’s worth every penny.
