I love and respect what Kagi is doing and I was a customer for years, but I recently canceled my subscription. I found that have two main use cases: 1) Search - It is nice that Kagi search is less SEO spammed. That a big appeal. However, I don't reach for a search engine when I have a topical question anymore. I reach for something like o3 with search, so I don't need to dig through a bunch of articles. Over the last few years my pure search volume has dramatically reduced. 2) Maps - I travel a lot. When I toss a business into the search bar, 90% of the time I want to see it on a map. Google's Maps experience is just far superior to Kagi's. I find that I end up typing maps.google.com more often than I am happy Kagi ran the search. I don't mind paying for a product; it just didn't work for me. Side note: I personally dislike that their favicon looks like a "g" for google. It's always confused me.
