At work, as an engineer, I have been able to find answers to obscure problems very quickly and easily via Kagi. To me that is easily worth spending $10 a month, rather than spending hours digging through junk on Google or DDG to find what I’m looking for (or never find it in some cases).
I also find being able to so easily adjust the priority of results to be awesome. For example, some sites like amazon, Home Depot, and Audible, I want the canadian sites always over the american ones. So i can lower the priority of .com and raise .ca with two clicks.
That's how I justify it, if it saves me time at work then that's worth money to me. $10 a month isn't that much, and since I've been trying to reduce my reliance on Google it's even easier to justify the cost. I've been a customer for a few months now and have been really happy with it so far, it's a better experience than Google search.
