A completely revamped search experience with rich results, AI overviews, place search, news, sports, images, smart shortcuts, and now our own European search index. Zero Big Tech. Zero tracking. More powerful than ever.
This has a lot of potential. So apparently they use their own + European Search Perspective indexes. The ESP was built by Ecosia and Qwant I believe. Will be testing out whether it’s any good. Most search engines use bing or google under the hood, having something independent and still being decent is not easy. Last I checked only Brave had something remotely usable and independent but even then it was not that good. Kagi uses their own but still rely heavily on bing / google.
First impressions the site itself is pretty polished, at least from the UI side of things.
Seems like they have a PRO and PLUS services. PRO is 8 eur a month and gives access to more expensive LLM models. So far they offer Qwen 3, Kimi 2.5, Mistral 3, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 PRO. Not bad, especially in this price range though I suspect eventually they will introduce some tighter limits on the usage for this price point as it most likely won’t be sustainable.
The pricing is way better than whatever Kagi offers. Which is 10$ / month and you can only use smaller models.
I wonder if the LLM’s themselves (the open source ones) hosted in the EU as well? Would also love for them to include other open source models like Gemma 4 26B, Deepseek v4 Flash / Pro, GPT 20B and push people to use the smaller open source models instead of relying on proprietary ones.
Will also be looking into their privacy claims and whether it’s not just “trust me bro”. I saw someone mention they were also planning on making the search open source or something ?
