This exactly. I love using Kagi and felt the relief sweep over me when I went to unlimited. Well worth it to me.
Kagi is a tough pill to swallow. Their search is hands down the best around, there's no other way around it. That being said, $10/mo is also expensive. The workaround I found is using Kagi Ultimate. I get access to Claude (and I'm still able to attach files + access a dozen other LLMs) for $25/mo, so I was able to cancel Claude and keep Kagi and get the best of both worlds from either product. Side note: incredible t…
Quality search results ultimately save time digging through poor quality search results. Add up 300+ searches per month and surely you're hitting minimum wage value at least.
The value proposition is absolutely there at $10.
That I won’t pay for.
How well does Kagi work for places outside the US and non-English languages? I've only ever seen it mentioned by US users, so I have no clue how support is elsewhere. I briefly tried duckduckgo and its non-US/non-english search results seemed to be lacking (though this was about 2 years ago).
I have reported a few issues to the Kagi team, their feedback system is super easy, they update you at every step of the process and they fixed everything (always minor issues) in about a week every time, plus you get a changelog of everything that changed.
I have made on average 1000 searches a month and never got frustrated by it, every time I stumbled upon a SEO-farming crapsite, I just filter it out to never see it again.
Excellent experience.

Unless you're a really heavy user, you can possibly save a lot on those LLM bills by using the API and some third party app. (Like Msty for example)
But the API is tempting for a cost savings.
I put $5 in API for “Continue” extension in VS Code and it’s been months and haven’t used it all up yet.

For instance, a search for Serbian terms will frequently turn up Croatian sites (they are largely the same language), which is not necessarily a problem unless you are looking to get a product locally or for a local place.
Google also does a better job of accepting both Cyrillic and Latin script (Serbian uses both, Croatian only the Latin script) for search terms and finding results in either script (a good test is to type something in Cyrillic and get results on a Croatian page), and I do not get results in Bulgarian or Russian (also using Cyrillic).
Kagi does some of that, but it's obviously a bit worse.
I'll add that I adore the summarization feature and use it all the time with a bookmarklet (both on desktop and mobile). It's amazing for cutting to the chase of recommended links and YouTube videos (and for plopping the big ideas into Logseq, nvAlt, Obsidian, et cetera).
Big ups.

Still English, but the results are a better fit.
I make about 1400 searches per month on average.
I have zero interest in the AI features and don't use any Apple devices, so Orion is also of no interest.
