When I saw this my initial reaction was to cancel, then I checked my usage with the early adopter professional plan it seems I'm mostly covered with 1000 searches a month inlcuded in the $10 subscription. Maybe some months I'll incur a small charge but nothing over $14 I don't imagine.

I could also reduce the cost pretty easily if I'm honest. I could stop searching for a site and clicking the result rather than entering the URL or using a bookmark. I could use a sites search function more often too rather than searching kagi for website name + keyword.

Some years ago I moved to a house with a water meter, previously I paid a flat rate and could use as much water as I wanted. I wasn't happy at first, but when I thought about it, being mindful about how much water I'm using is a good thing. Even if I live in a country where it rains constantly.

I'll keep on using and paying for Kagi, I really like what they are doing so far.

Yeah, their product is too good to cancel unfortunately. But the fact that they don't seem to care about search any more, instead focusing on AI and browser stuff, is disappointing.
pathetic
