Yeah, Kagi returns better results for me. Is free, but totally worth the one coffee ($5) per month.

Doesn't Kagi just use search APIs to get it results? Why would they be better if they don't build their own index?

Kagi lets me block domains from ever showing up again on my searches ever. That alone is worth 5 bucks a month to me.

Where have you heard this?

They build their own index: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/kagi-vs-competition.html

Kagi uses multiple search APIs (including their own) and implements their own ranking and mixing of results. Basically you get the same results with spam removed, with some truly unique results from the in-house engine.
