The price here is absurd - scraping unnamed big tech search engines costs $0.00, with the caveat of a slightly higher barrier of entry.

Who said they are scraping? I can confirm they are certainly paying for the Mojeek API https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/

I didn't say they are scraping. What I meant is that YOU should, if you're considering this at any serious scale.

Indeed you didn't; apologies.

Nobody said Kagi is scraping. The OP said scraping was free, and therefore, paying 2.5c per search is absurd.

Interesting, why should people pay for the Kagi API ($0.025/search) instead of using Mojeek's API ($0.001/search) directly?
