Yes, it shouldn't be needed

My view is that is should be needed. Advertising is a bad business model, I'd much prefer paying for a service I used. I think we should all get more comfortable paying for the sites we use.

    Agreed, and having heard of them for the first time today, their payment plan seems incredibly reasonable, crediting us for unused monthly plan credits means it's basically pay as you go with a limit to avoid surprise bills, while avoiding the feeling of overpaying because I'm not using a service enough

    They only credit for months you do no searches at all, if you do one you pay for the full month, but it's a nice touch. Personally I can't think of a situation where I'd do no searches in a month!

    For something as important as search, paying $5 or $10 a month seems entirely reasonable to me. I've been a Kagi user ever since their unlimited plan dropped to $10 a month when they reached enough users that they could do that.
