Main thing holding me back from even trying it is the mental overhead of having to think about "number of searches per month".

Same as an ISP with a bandwidth limit, even if it's much higher than I'm likely to need, it's not something I'm interested in having to keep track of or worry about.

Just don't think about it. Kagi keeps track of it and they do not charge for anything extra. They will tell you when you reached your limit. At first I also thought I would have to think about and not search for anything unnecessary to keep the usage low, but now I just blast away without thinking about it and I have so far never reached the monthly limit of 300 for the $5 plan.

It's refreshing to not have any ads and know there is no hidden agenda behind the search results.

You can get the unlimited plan for a cheap price and then not have to think about it.
