Not the one you replied to but they're probably talking about Kagi. I crunched the numbers a while back and the higher tiers were kind of hard to make worthwhile, however iirc they simplified the pricing slightly since then.

Oh yeah, I heard about this. Is it rly that much better?

I've been using it for a few months. It's good. I get the official docs for my first result using OP's query. 300 queries, their starting tier was not enough for my use. I was using DDG before and like it well enough. I'm not sure if it's worth it but I like the idea of paying for services I use. I stopped using Google years ago because of all the captchas I had to fill due to my VPN

I'm cool with paying for quality, ad-free service but I feel like they're giving way too little for what they're asking. 300 searches a month? What is this AOL?

Agreed, I switched to their unlimited tier pretty quickly
