Thoughts on KagiHQ? Is it worth paying for a search engine? (lemm.ee)

Basically the title. There are other privacy focused+free search engines, such as duckduckgo, startpage and brave search. What makes Kagi worth the $10/month?

I use the $5 plan. Basically for any time I’m searching for something I already know where to look (weather, sports scores, particular website) I use ddg or brave (or bookmarks). When I’m looking for more nuanced things like programming questions, recipes, reviews, etc. I use Kagi. Works pretty well with bangs in Firefox.

To answer your question: I hate ads so it’s worth it to me to have no sponsored crap in searches where there is something to sell
