Me too. I think the cost/benefit calculus is pretty simple. The pricing is around 1.5 cents per search. Let's say someone does 600 searches, which is about what I do in a month, or around 20 per day. That costs around $10.
For someone with a net income of $20 per hour (a lot of people in the US), that's 30 minutes of time. Can Kagi save 30 minutes over 600 searches in a month, or 1 minute per day over 20 searches? I'm pretty sure it can easily, yes. The result quality for me is far better than DDG (which I'd realistically be using otherwise, for privacy reasons) or even Google.
