Kagi allows you to toggle AI result summaries in your settings, alongside a million other things, like down ranking sites that tend to come with slop and removing the vast majority of AI images from image search results (unless you want that of course, because Kagi is designed around user preference, not advertisers)
I love the idea of Kagi, but those prices are objectively insane. $100/year is downright exploitative when you consider the actual cost to them of performing a search.
Take Bing API for example. They say it’s about $10/1k search.
As a person who searches 3k+/month + Few hundread Mtoks woth their LLM access, I’m practically stealing from them.
It is not cheap, especially for a service that is readily available for free, but I just don’t see myself going back to Google or Bing or even DDG. Search is miles ahead of others imo.

Ahh perfect, I smell a business opportunity for you! Since search is cheap, make your own search engine and only charge $90/year!
If you use less than 100 searches per month, you can use the starter plan. That’s $54 a year.
Starter plan is 300 searches/month. 100 is for free plan.
Thanks.
So it’s minimal $5/month ($54 annually) for 300 searches/month, after the first month of trial, which grants you 100 searches.
