I used my 100 free searches, and was impressed enough that I'll spring for a subscription in the next payday or 2. Like DDG I can turn off the AI crapola, and search results are just...good. I'm a freelance writer, so I need good search. DDG is good enough most days, but Kagi seemed better to me.

We believe AI in Kagi should always be useful: there when you want it, gone when you don't, and never at the cost of your privacy. YOU are in control of your search engine - so now you can turn off AI in Kagi Search completely, with one switch. Try it: kagi.com --> Settings --> AI

Changning my search engine to @kagi.com has been a total game-changer. Actually getting research results from a search engine seems revolutionary in this age of ads and AI slop. I highly recommend checking them out if you don't know them yet.

Kagi saves my fact-checking ass at least five times a day. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. The secret sauce is to be able to ‘mute’ sites you don’t want showing up in search results — never realized how important that was until I put it in action.

Sports scores now show up in a sidebar widget next to search results, so you can quickly check upcoming games, live scores, and recent results, just in time for the World Cup!

Well after a few weeks using @kagi.com as my primary search engine—& their Orion browser on desktop & mobile—I decided to subscribe. It’s genuinely incredible having *straightforward, capable search* again—no adware to wade through, no AI summary at the top (it’s 100% optional)—just relevant results

Anyone out there paying for Kagi Search? Have been playing around with the free tier & honestly, both the ad-free search & the “lenses” that make it easy to search distinct internet neighborhoods (e.g. academic, or the “small web” of blogs &c.) are making me think paying for search might be worth it

Been using Kagi for search recently and I had apparently completely forgotten how well websearches used to work. Wild how much I didn't notice search slowly becoming useless around me over time till I had some contrast.

I gave up on google search years ago, it was horrible, & getting shittier every day, switched to duckduckgo, which was ok, but just switched to @kagi.com for ad-free search & it's worth paying for. It's no longer like every search is an excuse to try to get me to buy something.
