While I agree that this post seems like a giant spammy ad, you don’t have to provide anything personal to Kagi. You can pay with crypto rather than card - I paid using Monero via a swap service.

Oh thank god. I’m on the $10 plan and I wasn’t using it on mobile because it’s so easy to hit 1000 searches on desktop.

That limit is just something that always hangs around at the back of your mind and you had to keep remembering to use Google for currency or unit conversions etc.

Now I can just use Kagi 👍
