The incentive for the company is also different depending if they sell subscriptions or credits/usage. Kagi doesn't have competition in the paid search so space so they shouldn't need to go the subscription route yet as a differentiator. Using dark patterns like subscriptions at this point seems to me that kagi doesn't trust their product or its users.
