What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost.

What if they made it so that a single search per month was fine too? You'd be back complaining that it'd be $5 if you only made 2 searches that month.

It's really hard to set a cut-off here.

I want to just want a prepaid plan rather than a subscription service. Let me buy 100 searches for $5 and when they run out, let me make another purchase if I want.

Right I can see where you're coming from but that incentivises using Kagi less which IMV is a really bad incentive for all parties involved.

Even if you are paying for the $5/month plan, you still are incentivized to be careful to not run out early without any option for topping up other than switching to the higher tier subscription service. $5 isn't worth it for like 20 searches/month imo.
