Kagi
App : A product you use directly
Paid search engine with no ads or tracking, with AI summaries.
The choice for those who prefer to pay rather than be the product.
Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.
What it does, concretely
Free search engines fund their services by displaying ads and tracking user behavior to resell that data to advertisers. Kagi offers an alternative: a search engine with no ads and no tracking, funded directly by user subscriptions.
In practice, Kagi lets you search the web and get results free of sponsored content. An integrated AI assistant called Kagi Assistant lets you query several large language models grounded by Kagi search results, without your interactions being used to train models or sold to third parties. Additional tools are available: translation into over 240 languages, article summarization, and a news feed without clickbait.
Kagi is aimed at people who want to regain control of their web experience and are willing to pay to avoid being the product. A free trial limited to 150 searches is available before any subscription.
On the other hand, Kagi is not suited to people who do not want to pay for a search engine or who are satisfied with free alternatives combined with ad blockers.
