Kagi Inc.

Kagi Inc. is a search engine and browser company founded in 2018 by Vladimir Prelovac and headquartered in Palo Alto, California. The company operates on a subscription-based model, charging users directly for access to its search engine rather than relying on advertising revenue. This positions it as an alternative to ad-supported search engines such as Google and Bing.

Kagi's primary product is its eponymous search engine, which offers features including customizable search result rankings, the ability to block or boost specific domains, and a summarization tool called Universal Summarizer. The company also develops Orion, a WebKit-based web browser for macOS and iOS that blocks ads and trackers by default and supports extensions from both Chrome and Firefox. Kagi search plans are offered on a tiered subscription basis, with pricing ranging from a limited free tier to unlimited paid plans.

Kagi has operated as a bootstrapped company and has not disclosed external venture funding. The team is small, with the company employing fewer than 50 people as of available public information. Prelovac previously founded ManageWP, a WordPress management platform that was acquired by GoDaddy in 2016.
