          i also want to mention Donation based/ads(if not too intrusive) are also fine ig.
          and sometimes(depends on country) your only option is monthly subscription (whatever its rent or internet price) you can find for sale buts its like in the millions and i think internet price is monthly only.
          but yeah i dislike monthly subscription as much as you(and i agree with you)
          i could use a Freemium service that has a monthly subscription too,but i wont buy the subscription. (i may abuse free trials kek)
          but obviously i prefer perpetual license the most.

        I’m not against a subscription for something like this. Kagi has ongoing server costs, I think it’s only fair that users pay on an ongoing basis.

        As opposed to, say, Office where the software can be more or less “finished” and I don’t need or want updates.

      I’m really happy with Kagi but I’m scared its price might go up and I’d want them to really not depend on the GAFAM. I think their results or something is still coming out of these bad companies…
