I think it's great. It's the only search engine where I don't find myself going back the Google every now and then. I'd say the results are actually a lot better than what Google offers. Being able to rank websites higher or lower (or even pin them or block them entirely) is great, and as it's saved to your account, it's basically synced across devices.

It's $10/month for unlimited searches. I tried their limited $5 plan first, but found myself thinking "do I really need to search this?" way too often to try and stay under the 200 (back then I think, now it's 300) search limit.

Their privacy model is mostly based on you trusting them that they don't keep your search history for longer or any other purposes than stated (if turned on), but their business model is clearly based on subscriptions, so it should be fine unless they get greedy.

startpage is already on google level and the defaults of some searxng instances are better the google results

It's great using their Fastgpt which gives accurate results from various forums and websites, where other gpt based search engines lack. And got to try their Summarizer.

I recommend to use it as Secondary source (with tempmails) and Primary remains SearX for sure.

I have been using it since September and enjoy it. (Paid with crypto of course)

How is map searching/integration?

Do they have an android app? I haven't been able to find anything that looks trustworthy

From my brief interactions with the dev I believe they're doing things the very hard way when it comes to indexing.

It might be the only choice once AI poisoning becomes prolific. It's already corrupted the niche topics and soon it may overwhelm the topics with more human eyes on it.
