This is where Kagi’s subscription policy comes in handy. If you don’t use it for a month, you don’t pay for it that month. There is no need to cancel it and Kagi doesn’t have to pay user acquisition costs.
- elcritch 2y agoWow, I wish more services did that.
- mirekrusin 2y agoReally? Brilliant idea.
- tshaddox 2y agoThat's a fun one. It could be interpreted as a generous implementation of a monthly subscription, or a hostile implementation of a metered plan.
- jay_kyburz 2y agosurely the first thing you do when you subscribe to Kagi is set your default browser search to Kagi.
- paxys 2y agoSlack does this as well. It's a genius idea from a business perspective. Normally IT admins have to go around asking users if they need the service (or more likely you have to request a license for yourself), regularly monitor usage, deactivate stale users etc., all to make sure the company isn't wasting money. Slack comes along and says - don't worry, just onboard every user at the company. If they don't log in and send at least N messages we won't bill them for that month.
- ashu1461 2y agoThey mention an user taking an action will be billed. I guess even sending a message or reacting with an emoji would count as taking an action ? Even logging in ?
- permo-w 2y agoKagi should take it a step further and just charge per search
- scarface_74 2y agoHistory shows that metered plans are extremely unpopular whether it be cell phone service, video, music etc.
- permo-w 2y agoJust have both. I'm massively off-put by the pricing tiers of Kagi because I feel my search habits are somewhere between tier 1 and 2 and tier 1 is an acceptable price and tier 2 is not. If I could just pay for what I use then I'd be happy
