I find this kind of domain name reuse unsettling: for years, Kagi.com was the address of a payment service for shareware authors. Man those were the days. Lots of people were perfectly willing to pay me $20 for a useful little utility app and now they won't pay $2 in an App Store.

what kind of utilities?

I am happy to pay $2 (or more) for tools I use if it is a one time payment or a payment for tokens (e.g. $n for $m ocr scans, generated images or whatever).

I loathe apps that demand monthly payments unless it is really understandable why they have to have it that way (service that require permanent storage comes to mind, although I think I only use iCloud for storage now).
