Kagi vs Uruky
Honest comparison so you can choose. We like Kagi; Uruky is for people who want a narrower, EU-based, search-only option.
Where Uruky fits better
- Jurisdiction: Uruky is EU-based; Kagi is US-based.
- Focus: Uruky is search-only. Kagi is building an ecosystem (browser, etc.), so focus is spread.
- AI: Uruky doesn't use AI (for now, we're still unsure on how to fit it sensibly). Kagi uses AI in several places.
- Price: Uruky is €5/mo for unlimited searches; Kagi's unlimited plan is $10/mo.
- Data: Uruky stores much less data than Kagi (we don't even store your email address).
- Code access: Uruky gives you a copy of the source code after 12 months as a paying customer.
Where Kagi wins
- Resources: Bigger team and more funding than Uruky.
- Features: Image search, news, maps, LLM summarizer, and more. Uruky is web search + personalization.
- Ecosystem: If you want a privacy-focused ecosystem (mail, browser, etc.), Kagi is heading that way; Uruky will just focus on search.
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.
