Wouldn't today's change make you reconsider, because you now no longer have to worry about how much you search for $10/month, it's just unlimited?

I am not the gp but yes. I had the same concern last time I evaluated Kagi and now I expect to become a paying customer this weekend when I have some time to do all my reading and reconfigure my main devices.

    “grand parent” - it’s a way to reference the comment as opposed to user in a thread. “OP” aka “Original Poster” is usually the first in a thread. “PSA” aka “Please See Attached” references a link or attachment to the original post, and is used in the title of the first post, i.e, please look at this webpage I’ve linked to and let’s discuss it. “TFA” aka “The Featured Article” is often used in the discussions and is the same object as the original poster referenced via PSA

Yes, I'll probably check it out and at least consider paying for it, depending on how much I like it (well, once I have a job and some disposable income...) $25/month seemed too much regardless; I don't know the economics behind it but that it's now adjusted to $10/month seems I was right.

It me! I literally looked at Kagi like a week or two ago from a link here. I really liked it, and I've really been hating Google search more and more each day. But I concluded that 1000 searches felt too limiting, and $25 felt too expensive, so I passed hoping a price change would come at some point in the future. And voila! Just signed up for $10 unlimited. Probably won't even use 1000/month, but psychologically it just feels so much better.

  Same here. Looked at Kagi a while back, thought about paying for it, but 1000 searches per month was way too little, especially considering what actually eats into your quota: load more results? another search. Looking for an image, so you search and then switch to Images? two searches. etc. But as soon as "unlimited" became something I could reasonably buy, I was in :D
