Kagi Search

Replaces Google Search

US · United States

100-search trial · Starter $5/mo · Pro $10/mo

Ad-free, zero-tracking search engine funded entirely by subscribers, with customizable domain blocking.

Zero-Tracking / E2EE

The Catch: No permanent free tier—Starter ($5/mo) caps at 300 searches/month, so daily users usually need the $10/mo Pro plan.

When you pay directly ($5–$10/mo), the search engine has zero incentive to show ads, track your queries, or let SEO spam dominate the first page.

Yes—Kagi includes a 100-search free trial before requiring the Starter ($5/mo for 300 searches) or Pro ($10/mo unlimited) plan.
