What people previously said about Kagi

“Bwahaha Kagi downranks and flags the site as slop. I still added my flag to kick it further down.”

“Kagi since it's like what search engines used to be before the enshittification it is paid but the $10 is worth it”

“Startpage for free, Kagi for paid”

“Kagi.”

“I love Kagi. Yes, it is paid but I don't mind to pay for something that doesn't track me and doesn't show me ads.”

“I love Kagi”

“startpage for free kagi for paid”

“Kagi is paid”

“yeah, Orion is what came to my mind, I only know about it because I use Kagi as my search engine.”

“I have a couple other extensions, I put AdGuard and ProtonVPN on all my browsers, and a couple have a Kagi extension as well.”

“This is exactly the kind of rent-seeking behavior I wanted to get away from, and I am dismayed that Kagi is gatekeeping the API in this way.”

“Kagi let's you block sites and prioritize the order of search results. I love it.”

“Orion (by Kagi) is still new, but seems to be trying.”

“I was simply getting no answer from Kagi Quick assistant, and as of now, I see that they've reverted back to GLM-5.2!”

“As a Kagi customer, I find this was just about the worst way to handle it. I pay for a search engine because I want searches to cater to MY need for accurate and unbiased information.”

“I was persuaded only Kagi (paid search engine) gave me an easy access to this kind of features. That is neat.”

“Brave Search is also great if you want independent results without tracking, while Kagi is awesome if you prefer ad free search.”

“Kagi has them too. And don't quote be but I believe you can create your own too.”

“Update: I learned that kagi has the worst privacy combo: Based in the US Uses a Russian index”

“Kagi is great if you don't mind paying so is DDG and brave search if you switch some settings but if you want European I guess qwant and startpage are some of the options”

“I have been paying the same for my Kagi subscription since the start”

“Firefox browser (I pretend that Google doesn't fund it), Kagi or DuckDuckGo for search.”

“Kagi if you actually want results, Perplexity if you want answers -Google search hasn’t been Google search for a while now”

“I bashed it with various searches for 10 minutes and the results were all from Google and it doesn't do the Kagi thing of mixing and matching from various sources.”

“DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Ecosia, Brave Search, and Startpage”

“Obviously the best is kagi”

“> Almost nobody objected to my characterization of Google and Bing search results, but people told me that I was wrong about Kagi.Paying for a product makes you defensive, especially if there are free alternatives.”

“When I used Kagi, my favourite feature was pinning Wikipedia to the top of all results.”

“I recently started using Kagi and have been really happy with it. It is so clean and simple, which is refreshing to me.”

“Kagi looks cool but i don't have money to spend on a search engine.”

“Kagi”

“Kagi is also good but I bounced off of it after a year or so of use because of concerns about the CEO's approach to security, and because I feel that any of my money going to Yandex and X AI is just a bit farther than I can stomach right now. But if one can justify or compartmentalize these factors, it's a great search engine.”

“kagi search is one of those things where it's so good and reliable that it fades away and you forget about it, other examples being helium & tailscale”

“Kagi is the way”

“Kagi is paid, but they count me as a happy customer.”

“It IS a non-issue. Kagi is LEGITIMATELY so good.”

“Kagi is the only real competitor to Google since they use some of their indexes, but be aware that any money paid for them goes to Russia which in turn supports their efforts in Ukraine.”

“Price is the other obvious one. Their full plan is $25 a month, for which you get $20 in tokens (plus their excellent search engine). What that means obviously varies a lot depending on if you're using e.g.”

“Kagi + privacy-friendly providers and OpenRouter with ZDR already solve part of this problem. So I'm wondering: what would make someone choose a new provider instead of using Kagi/OpenRouter with a ZDR provider?”

“People may balk at the idea of paying for a search engine, but Kagi is soooo much nicer than using the bloated mess that is Google.”

“My point is, there are cheaper ways to get access to the model, without a Kagi subscription...”

“Kagi is great. Paying for something makes you the customer, not the product.”

“Maybe I’ll try one of the other suggestions here like kagi and see what happens.”

“I started using Kagi recently to see what it was like too.”

“Based on people's recommendations, I tested Kagi briefly, and so far, the recommenders are right: it feels like Google when it used to be good. I may try a subscription.”

“kagi translate is so fucked up like how the actual fuck does it translate this???”

“@adriancantrill @KagiHQ I think emailing kagi or using the discord server is a better way to communicate”

“I don't really understand why you're making a distinction, personal use is personal use. Why should it matter whether I'm using a web browser or local AI agent(s).”

“the ceo is such a bummer bc Kagi has been great for me”

“The results quality is pretty good, but I probably use the uprank and downrank feature all the time. Being able to report stuff as AI and get little indicators that a site is AI slop is good.”
