AI without paying for search you don't use
If your search is already Google or DuckDuckGo, the Kagi bundle is paying twice. Namulai is the AI tier on its own, at a lower euro price.

Kagi AssistantKagi bundles search and AI.
Namulai is just the AI.
Kagi Search is a thoughtful product, and the Assistant tier that ships alongside it gives Kagi members access to several frontier models behind one interface. The catch is the bundle: paying for the AI means paying for the search subscription it sits on top of, around $25 a month. If you don't need a paid search engine, that's overhead. Namulai unbundles the AI side — the same class of frontier models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, plus five more), €19.80 a month, no search subscription required, 30 days free.

03 / WHO IT'S FOR
Who chooses Namulai over Kagi Assistant?
People who tried Kagi Search, didn't fall in love with paying for queries, but liked the Assistant idea. Multi-model believers who want the AI bundle without the search subscription attached to it. EU customers who'd rather pay euros than dollars. Kagi remains the sharpest paid search product on the market, and if you genuinely use it for search, Assistant is a fair add-on. Namulai is for everyone else — eight frontier models on their own merit, with a 30-day trial to compare answers across them on real work before the subscription proper kicks in.
04 / FAQ
Namulai vs Kagi Assistant — questions
Is the model quality comparable?
Both surfaces tap the same frontier model class — GPT-4 tier, Claude Sonnet/Opus, Gemini Pro. Where lineups overlap, output quality is essentially the same. Namulai's lineup is broader and named explicitly.
Can I get Kagi Search with Namulai?
No. Namulai is the AI workshop only. Perplexity is one of the eight models and handles sourced answers, but it's not a replacement for a full paid search engine.
Why is Namulai cheaper?
Kagi Assistant rides on a search subscription you also pay for. Namulai is just the AI, so the price reflects only the model costs and the workshop on top of them.
Can I use both?
Yes — keep Kagi Search for queries you trust it on, and use Namulai for the multi-model conversation work. The trial lets you run them in parallel for a month.
