I made the switch to Kagi January last year.

I know it's all just personal experience and everyone can have their own needs, but I was skeptical at first as well.

Almost a year and a half later I've got no complaints.

My searches feel like how Google felt years ago: mainly I never think about it. I search, find what I want and I'm off. It just works as I'd expect without the nonsense ads and AI Google has now.

Worth a free trial. See how it works for you.

I switched 3 months ago and have the same experience as you. Got on the $25 tier that has access to all AI assistants/GPT models through their “Kagi Assistant”. So I basically swapped my ChatGPT subscription for the Kagi one which also has the search.

What’s nice is that I can maniacally search for stuff I’m looking into without them being bombarded by ads for it for a month after. Feels refreshing!

Would recommend.
