Are there any current Kagi extended trial codes?

Posted by TwinTurbo
Tags: ask.survey, search engines, kagi, codes.trial

Around this time last year, Kagi gave away extended (3-month) trial code for customers to share with others. I've done the standard Kagi trial (100 searches) and I like some of it, but I've been stingy in using my limited supply of searches, so I wasn't able to evaluate it in full day-to-day use.

Are they offering the same extended trials this year? If so, would anyone here be willing to share one of their codes for my noble mediocre cause of evaluating if I'd like to pay for Kagi going forward?

Thanks!

    Side note, if you have a Notesnook or Ente subscription, you can get a code for a 3-month Kagi trial from each. Code won't work with existing accounts.

    Also interested! Been spending the last couple of months de-googling as much as reasonably possible and Kagi is on my list to try next. Currently using Startpage.

      Once I tried it I haven’t looked back except when online shopping. Nothing tops Google when it comes to selling you things.

        Conversely, I love online shopping with Kagi. I de-prioritize Amazon, and all of a sudden I can find dozens of smaller companies that hone in on a niche. Vidabox being one such example.

    They just sent a bunch for the holidays, I've got 3 I can share (also sharing elsewhere, so the reply count here might not be accurate to remaining codes :) )

    Easily the best search engine and service I pay for. It's in the top5 of stuff I'll unsubscribe from last.

    EDIT: All codes sent

    Would love if they made an Orion Plus and Kagi Search bundle too.

      They don’t do discounts AFAIK since the early beginning they were figuring out their business model and running at a loss for quite some time. This was to avoid taking on VC money and therefore allowing others to steer the ship.

      I’ve happily paid for my ultimate plan for the 3rd year in a row and would rather have that vs my data.

        Thing is though $120 a year(And this is without tax) is a lot, and I already pay around $200 for a Bi annual Proton Ultimate plan.

    Like OP I had 100 searches but kind of ran out so if anyone else has a 3 month that would be great

    If anyone still has a spare, I'd love to give it a proper prolonged trial.
