Still no option to pay on a per search basis? Still not remotely interested then. I don't search nearly enough to justify paying for a search engine subscription.

There is kind of: https://kagi.com/api/pricing 0.83c/search
I generally do less than 30 web-searches per month on not-topic-specific search engines (I have bookmarks for information sources on most topics I care about).
With this new no-account-needed free search option, I could probably get away with doing all my general web searching on Kagi, without ever being a paying customer. (Maybe requiring some occasional shenanigans such as clearing my cookies or changing my IP address or something)
But in the interest of being a "customer" (and/or a "supporter") rather than just a "user", I'd be willing/interested in buying a bucket of searches that don't expire. Or even with a long expiration date, like a year after purchase.
