Huh, I would never have guessed their subscriber count was so low and good on them for being open about that, I'm one of them. I've been happy with Kagi overall and once I got over the hump of "I need to ration my searches" it got a lot better. The 1000 searches a month seems to be enough for me, I'm still in my first month but it looks like I'm averaging about 30 searches a day (desktop and mobile) and I've only rarely re-tried a search on google (I use their bang feature so I can just add a "g" to the start of my query to send it to google).
On mobile especially the lack of "search as you type" and relying on google under the hood then redirecting to Kagi is a little weird and sometimes, again on mobile, the top UI will load and then you will up to 10 seconds (!!!!) for the results to pop in. I'll put up with that for a little while more but it's frustrating for sure. The domain ranking stuff is super cool though.
- esafak 3y agoI definitely do need to ration my searches.
- tiltowait 3y agoI'm a happily paying customer, and I'm a little ... pleasantly surprised? ... that their numbers are about 1/10 what I expected. I can't really explain it. I want them to succeed and wish them great success, but something about them being small feels oddly good. I haven't experienced a 10s pop-in on mobile (iOS Safari with the extension installed). What OS/browser? You could probably file a bug report on their feedback site.
- joshstrange 3y agoiOS Safari with extension as well. It's often instant, sometimes a few seconds, rarely up to 10 seconds.
