I don't know, it seems low, but it works for me, but I still just use Google for most things. Like most of my searches are simple things where Google is fine. Recipes, weather, easy queries. For more advanced stuff where Google doesn't work I use kagi with fair success. Like today I was looking for an obituary from 1843 and Google just kept giving me shit about the Ukraine War. Kagi worked! But also gave me some Ukraine War results, but somehow the most relevant page was near the top of Kagi but nowhere to be found on Google even with multiple searches.

So you essentially have to budget your queries to make sure you have enough. Which is unproductive. The "simple queries" should already be cached aon the server and should not even count to the quota.
I’ve been using Kagi for many months and similarly to the others, I actually haven’t found myself exceeding the low-sounding prepaid cap often. Weird
To clarify, there is no limit on Kagi. Searches are 1.5 cents per search (after those included with subscription) and you can do as many as you’d like. Or get an unlimited plan. A lot of things don’t cost a search (bangs, reloads etc..)
