How it works

The pricing is simple: Starter at $5 a month for 300 searches, Professional at $10 for unlimited searches, and Ultimate at $25 for the full set including the most powerful AI features. A 100-search free trial lets you test it before paying, but there is no permanent free plan.

Kagi is a good choice for people who search a lot and hate ads. It will not replace Google for everyone — the subscription is a hard sell when Google is free — but for researchers and power users who value clean, relevant results, it is worth the trial.
