      Yes it is 10 dollars a month, but you can create an account and try it for free to see if it is for you. It also does not use your data nor push advertisements which explains the cost.

        ddg does that for free

        $10/mo is also crazy overpriced for a search engine, they’re really not resource intensive at all

          ddg relies on Bing so it isn’t really comparable, idk about kagi’s costs but they claim 1.2 cent per search and an average of 700 searches per month (as what they are serving and hence pricing for)

            If you mean has a crawler, ddg does crawl and augments with bing. Kagi doesn’t have any crawler.

                Do you have any possible way of measuring that, or are you going off of their marketing page

                  I’m going off of personal experience. I’ve used them all for SEO, and I find Kagi’s results and experience better for my own personal use.
