Google vs Uruky
Honest comparison so you can choose. Uruky is for people who want ad-free, private search and are willing to pay for it.
Where Uruky fits better
- Jurisdiction: Google is US-based; Uruky is EU-based.
- Ads: Google shows ads and is funded by advertising. Uruky is user-funded and ad-free.
- You're not the product: With Uruky you're the customer; we don't monetize your attention or data.
- Privacy: Google tracks everything about you. Uruky doesn't; we store minimal data and don't sell it.
Where Google wins
- Resources: Google has an incomparably bigger team and effectively infinite funds; Uruky is a family business and user-funded.
- Ecosystem: Google offers image search, news, maps, video, browser, OS, and more. Uruky is web search and personalization for now.
- Index and reach: Google has the biggest index in the world and an effective search monopoly; we use multiple smaller indexes.
- Price: Google is free to use (you pay with loss of privacy, attention, and control). Uruky is €5/mo for unlimited searches.
What you get with Uruky
Privacy first
No ads, no tracking, no analytics. No emails or names stored, just an account number (like Mullvad ). We have no incentive to track your searches.
Search personalization
Tune results to you: exclude or boost domains. No assistants, news, or summaries. You can search with JavaScript disabled. What Kagi was, originally.
True ownership and validation
After 12 months as a paying customer, you get a copy of the source code.
Just search
We're building a private search engine, not an ecosystem. There are already many privacy-focused alternatives for other services controlled by big tech.
EU-based
EU servers, EU storage, EU payment processing, EU search providers (Marginalia, Mojeek, EUSP, etc.).
Coming in beta
Search result improvements, more search providers, dedicated search index, self-hosting.
