Kagi, view my stats? (lemmy.world)

I hope this question is allowed here (since it is one of the search engines that i now use instead of google). I'm trying out Kagi. For the trial, you get to have 100 free searches, i belief. Is there a way to see how many searches i used up? I can only find stats for Kagi, not for my personal stats. How do you all like Kagi? And if so, do you pay for it? I'm considering paying, but i would like to have some insight into how many searches i actually perform on average in a month time. I honestly have no idea. What i also do lately is ask a question to a LLM (i found Petal), so that i have a start on where to search for more precisely. Sometimes, i get incorrect answers, but often it helps me get more of a handle on what i should be looking for when using a search engine. For example, i switched to Linux and Petal helps me understand some things better, which i can then use to do a more precise search.

Kagi is doing surprizingly nice job with the search results. I was an early adopter with beta program, and can happily tell that it has been several months since last time I did the "g!". I'm in professional plan ($10 as of now). It is so good that I forget it's existence. It is just there and working nicely!

Yes, i really like it too. And i also like Searx, so if people can't or don't want to pay for a search engine, that would also be a good option. I haven't used google in a long time now, but i've been somewhat of a drifter; for years i used startpage, until i read that they had been taken over by a company that is specialized in targeted advertising. Discovered Ecosia, which also is not that reliable anymore, etc. It's quite a chore to build my digital armor against shady businesse.
