I'm hearing a lot of recommendations for Kagi. Maybe when I can afford another subscription service, but that time isn't right now.
I'm also not a fan of having all my searches potentially tied to one account, even if they say they respect privacy. Makes me very weary to try it.
$5/month is very steep, and it only includes 300 searches. There's no way Google makes that per month off of advertising to me, and I really don't see how $1/month wouldn't be more than enough to cover their costs.
Google has probably managed to reduce cost at scale. I'd expect kagis internal cost per search to go down with time. But they may not pass those saving onto the user.
Just remember that when something is free, you're the product.
