The alternative for users is Kagi, which is superior to Google for search results.

For businesses, there is no good alternative to Google. Many are investing a lot of effort and money in social media, but the returns are very low compared to Google.

I’ve been heavily considering the 1k Kagi but the limit thing has been giving me pause.

I’ve yet to try to trial tho so that should help give context how quickly I burn thru 100

I've noticed that there's a huge misunderstanding among people interested in Kagi: You're not banned from searching after passing the limit in your plan, instead subsequent searches will cost 1.5 cents each. So nothing to sweat.

Oh I’m aware, but thanks. It’s more so the mental burden of second guessing if a search is “worth it” that would arise. Like I said tho I’ll use the trial to best figure out my process.

And also yea three cents for every two searches over the 1k monthly limit is pretty trivial lol. So nvm that shouldn’t b something to give me pause

Nothing to sweat, except money, of course. Not everyone has an open-ended budget.

Yes, I tend to forget about the plight of the commoners when sitting at my enormous hoard of several hundred cents.

You can put a hard budget limit so you're not financially ruined if you go over those $10. And there's ultimate $25 all-you-can-eat plan, too.
