In months where you don’t utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month’s subscription at no additional cost.
I wish they’d offer an llm free version with no cap on searches. Their products are too expensive and it feels like it is mostly to pay for the llms. I can’t justify paying that much for a product I am never going to use.
It was okay while I was using it. Just a bit pricey. But I stopped using it when they started the whole “EUs GDPR doesn’t apply to us” non-sense. Simply not a company I can trust to handle personal data properly.
I must have missed that, can you explain what you mean by that?
This old blog post summarises a lot of pain points: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Similar to Brave (and more recently Proton) I simply can’t trust them, despite liking the idea of their respective services.
After reading that essay I feel a lot more queasy about using Kagi. It’s just that I really despise ads, but I’m willing to put up with it, if the search engine company is more ethical. For the moment I’ve downgraded my account from 10 to 5 bucks a month. I wasn’t using any of the AI features anyway.
I also liked the part where they decided they don’t need to pay the VAT.
And yet I had to pay $12.10 for my $10 Kagi subscription…
