I think it's just another monetization model and another competitor overall in the space.
If you like the privacy of DDG but really don't like ads, you can pay Neeva a monthly fee for a similar experience.
Doesn't have to be winner-take-all - there's enough space in the market for both models to do well, and more competition will keep each of them honest in their value props to users.
- yumraj 5y agoYes, I get that. I was curious if there were other differences. For example DDG uses bing I think, does Neeva do their own indexing?
- alphabetatheta 5y agoNeeva is trying to do better than Bing. Also, Neeva does not do ads.
- proxyforce 5y agoAnother interesting difference (that I personally find to be one of the best features in Neeva) is the ability to connect apps. You can then search not only the public web, but also private data from your Slack, Github, Gdrive, Jira (etc) accounts. We're hard at work adding more integrations in the near future as well.

- kyawzazaw 5y agoIs there plans for students? (I guess you might not have any inputs on the pricing model) Students (especially CSstudents) being exposed to this ahead will probably help them in and these are the kind of demographics that would pay for a search engine.
- proxyforce 5y agoThat's great feedback and I'll pass it along to our product management team. Thank you!
