Would you consider making a pay-per-search model for the occasional users?

This way one search is maybe $0,05 or whatever, but at least one can use KAGI without signing up for an account.

Several paywall solutions exist for this, like:

Yes potentially, we found out that incorporating billing system is painful and takes away resources from our (small) team that we'd rather spend on building better search experience (like this update).

I guess I’ll wait till you do find the resources.
