The privacy-first model is refreshingly honest: you pay with money instead of your data, and MevaSearch states that trade-off plainly instead of burying it. The positioning is sharp for privacy advocates and power users who already pay for tools like a VPN or Proton, and the no-tracking, no-ad-profiling promise comes through clearly on the launch page.
What could be better?
The biggest open question for a prospective user is result quality versus incumbents like Google or Kagi. A few side-by-side example searches on the landing page, or a short free trial before the paywall, would make switching much easier to justify.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. Regarding your note on result quality and the barrier to entry: we completely agree. That is actually why 10 free test queries have been available since the very beginning. We wanted everyone to be able to evaluate the result quality firsthand before committing to a plan completely free and with no credit card required.
