Funny as I just cancelled my Kagi sub to get the Gemini ai pro sub. The deal was too good to pass up

The deal will be great for now, while they lure you in and get you to drop the competition -- then they will raise prices later.

Then you cancel and go to another provider, rinse and repeat. This is already what is happening with streaming platforms.

		Not after it consolidates, monopolises and enshittifies, no you can't.

This used to be called "dumping" or predatory pricing[1] and would be fined in the physical retail space. Too bad our regulators are asleep at the wheel.

Kagi does have AI too, for what it’s worth. I found it pretty damn good, but I wish I could give them more money. I have a year subscription so I’m stuck without being able to give them *anything* until it’s done.

That is an option for sure, but a very disappointing one. And it comes with a meaningful danger of ending up with 2 subscriptions: one yearly and one monthly. They really, really need to finish their “pay as you go” system. I don’t know why it’s not done yet and there’s been no word about it to my knowledge.

Maybe they should just enable a tip option? What do donations do to a company's tax liability and would it be worth their effort to enable something like that?

		They already have a system for “prepaying”, but it can’t be used to put more credits into your account, they just sit there, waiting to be used by a future subscription.
