For a moment there I thought it might've become affordable. Nope, still $10/month.

Stract.com free and no ads. Some guy built it in his basement. He suggests it may need paid tier or ads in future to support it. It gives results like google did in 2010 era before all the ad nonsense

Stract seems kind of bad. Results are mostly irrelevant. It seems impossible to get information about any sort of local stores or anything like that. I literally can't search up a youtube page. Like, the ways in which google actually still functions don't work on stract at all.

You can’t afford $10/month for something you use many times per day? Are you paying for any streaming services? Those cost way more per daily use.

$10 isn't a high price, but it starts to hurt when you lump it on top of all the other fees and expenses most people have every month. Also that's in US dollars - here in Canada, for example, the price is 50% higher before tax. It adds up fast.
My email is used constantly every day for both personal use and my self-employed business. It costs me $1.50CAD per month.

Thank you! Precisely my thoughts. I was a paying Kagi customer for a year, but compared to e.g. Brave's on search index, their results were not vastly superior. I never got into using all those fancy search !bangs or custom prioritizations for individual sites and >90% of their changelog updates in that 1 year were about which additional new LLM was now also available for Ultimate Tier customers - but I didn't come to Kagi for LLM assistants. That's didn't use to be their value proposition.

It just seems like a high price for what you get, considering that running a searx instance costs nothing. There being no way to pay for it anonymously also makes me less willing to pay that much.
