Very interesting going after enterprise. How do you pitch to a CFO that you now need to pay for a web search license on top of Copilot/AI Assistant or whatever?
Kagi has been slowly positioning itself as the single point of entry for both search and AI. They offer some LLM integrations and are working on making the whole experience well integrated.
Not a bad idea, just quite hard to pull off when Microsoft starts pushing Bing and Copilot to their enterprise clients more aggressively.
On the other hand, the red tape is the problem, not the $10.
The amount of effort to get anything paid approved is often similar whether it's $1 or $100. Above that, it probably gets exponentially harder but that's fair.
I think the original comment pointed out that justifying any new purchase (especially for something that's generally taken for granted as free such as web search) is hard, not necessarily whether it's $10 vs $20.
