No mention of Google Maps?
And Kagi is absolutely worth the 10€. Give it a couple months. It's very hard to go back to free search.
Maybe they should offer a full refund if you cancel within the first 3 months or something.
Forgot Maps - haven't thought about it yet
Same goes for Gboard and Voice assistant
For Maps I'd recommend Organic Maps and OSMAnd. For Gboard go with Florisboard, Heliboard or Thumb-Key if you feel like trying something new that actually makes you type faster.
