In my case what stops me from using Kagi is not the price, but: * No presence in Europe. Establishing a legal entity in Europe and using an European datacenter would at least add some pressure to handle data correctly. We can never know if they fulfil their part of the deal, but at least the consequences of a publicly visible privacy fail would at least be non-zero. * Email is required. It would be way more appealing for me if this was handled like Mullvad handles their accounts. I understand Kagi's choice is mostly because they prefer a subscription model instead of a pre-paid one. Yes, I can use a disposable email address, but I'd rather not have to rely on workarounds like that. (EDIT: I want to emphasize that this is only what is stopping me from using Kagi based on my own preferences; they (Kagi devs) are of course free to do what they consider best for the project from their point of view. I'm just not the target audience for this paid search engine, and that's fine.)
