I feel the same way. I'm probably going to end my subscription at some point, but right now the effort involved is what's keeping me with Kagi.
"the effort involved"
Feels like your comment saying it was too much effort to cancel Kagi took more effort than cancelling Kagi.
Is usage based pricing available?
I'm thinking of trying it out Kagi, but adding another monthly commitment is what's holding me back.
A single credit top-up and occasional usage until the credits run out sounds good to me.
