I've switched to Kagi a year ago and haven't looked back. I've tried Bing and DDG before and went back to Google immediately. Not so with Kagi, since switching over to it I've googled less than a handful of times. Seriously, try it.
I did try Kagi, IMHO cost limit by no of searches did not meet my needs and felt over priced. DDG and perplexity meets my needs and gives my money worth
