> I’m in my first month on the standard plan, 20 days in, and I’m at 287 searches.

The 300 searches/month is typical for the general populace, who mostly stay in mobile mode(fb/tiktok/youtube/tumblr etc.) and occasionally open a browser to typein a website in search engine to visit it.

Sadly, from my best guess, these users will never pay for a search engine and they are not tech savvy enough to even find kagi. The professional one is targetted at tech savvy people who frequently uses searches on daily basis to find things. The basic $5/month one is sort of trial equivalent.

P.S. anyone claiming to be never crossing the 300/month quota is probably not searching enough not only on Kagi but in all other ones(excluding Google, where you need to seatch thrice to find anything these days). Entirely my opinion and I am sure, I am very wrong.

There are a lot of professions were google or Kagi isn't really that helpful for knowledge extraction so yes you are techy biased and totally wrong.
