Also, they broke their promise from last year, saying that they'd grandfather-in all early adopters, as long as they don't cancel:

If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.

Oh. I didn't realize that they would not be grandfathering-in existing users until I read your comment, believing their earlier statements. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug, but it made sense after I read it again. Thanks for that.

> Every existing subscriber will have their current subscription honored until expiration. That means if you are a subscriber at the time of the new plan rollout, you will still get unlimited searches as a part of your original plan until your existing subscription expires or is set to renew.

Exactly. That exact statement encouraged me to subscribe. This change is disappointing.
Same. I haven't used Kagi that much yet. But one of the reasons of subscribing was to opt in to the then-current terms.
