They have a free trial as well. I didn't even finish half my 100 free search queries before I decided to pay.

In my case 100 was not enough. I almost didn't sign up for Kagi because I hadn't yet felt the value and configuring a browser to use Kagi as the default search engine isn't a zero effort task.

It probably took me about 200 to 300 searches before I was firmly decided that paying for Kagi is worth it. If I hadn't been freshly mad about Google's declining search quality, and displeased with DDG for something they had recently done (can't remember at this point), after the trial I probably wouldn't have paid and just would have gone back to DDG.

The latency of Kagi is so much better than Google or DDG. Just for the responsiveness and ball of "stuff" that Google tacks onto the front of search is an abomination. Worth if for the latency and the kruft ball removal alone.

It's fairly easy to set up now.
