For reference, the biggest competitor is Brave, which costs 5 times less ($5/1000 compared to $25/1000).
Can anyone from Kagi help us understand the reason for the difference? All things equal, I’d love to use Kagi but I can’t tell my client that their search costs went up by 500% for no reason.
- dotinvoke 2y agoBrave does not permit you to store search results unless you opt for the $26/mo plan. I emailed them about it and that policy applies to storing any data derived from search results as well.
- sam0x17 2y agoKagi pays market price to the upstream search providers (unless something has changed since I wrote much of their initial backend circa ~2019). Bigger players like Brave are likely able to broker a pricing deal with search providers that is better than the market API price. I was very adamant early on that they should be investing in developing their own indexing infrastructure so they can have true independence, but this has never been part of the vision as far as I can tell.
