Software engineers - the breed that goes to extremes and compromises a lot just to avoid… paying for software.

I agree partially that they could have a longer trial but on the other hand, $10 without any sort of contract is a low enough barrier to give it a whirl.

I'd be thrilled to pay for such a service if I found it even remotely sticky, and I genuinely wanted it to be. I just found it mediocre. If some of their features' benefits compound over time it seems like it would be better to have a lengthier trial period.
Kagi free plan includes 50 free searches every month, so the trial period is basically infinite.
I can blow through 50 searches in 3-4 days, easy.
What results does have it to echo in order to not be mediocre for you?
