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

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

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
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.
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.
I'd suggest using the changelog title for your post. It's much better than just "Kagi Search Changelog"
