Basically the title. There are other privacy focused+free search engines, such as duckduckgo, startpage and brave search. What makes Kagi worth the $10/month?

    ALL YOUR SEARCHES are tied to your email, forever. all your queries safely stored, waiting for someone to hack them or them to abuse that data somehow.

    now reread your question.

      This is inaccurate. The reality is that the company promises that searches aren’t saved and there is no search history associated with your account.

      The problem is that we have no way to verify that is actually true. It requires trust.

      I use Kagi. I pay $5/month for 300 searches. I am acutely aware of the fact that my searches might not be completely private.

      They still offer the most accurate search results of any any search engine since ~2008 Google.
