   when might there be a @kagihq low-cost tier for recipients of public assistance like SNAP, Medicaid, etc?

     @kagihq I really appreciate the consideration on behalf of broke tech users everywhere! I've been getting tired of the existing options.

     @kagihq that's fair, any idea if you might offer low-income discounts when the subscriber base is considerably bigger?

     @deutrino If it can be done sustainably it will definitely be considered! Everyone deserves to have access to a search engine that has their best interest in mind, not just those who can pay for it.

     @deutrino We try our best to keep costs accessible and fair, and discounts are difficult at our current rate (~34.5K members) while remaining sustainable. Since Kagi has no ads or VC funding to subsidize the cost, that means that existing Kagi users would have to pay for other users to receive discounts. That mechanism already exists through the 'Gift Kagi' feature.

     With any formalized discounts, it's currently not possible because we're not making sufficient profit to discount it off from.
