 # Pick The Right Plan
 
+> **Important Notice:** Our pricing changed on September 21st, please review our [Plan Types](./plan-types.md) for more information and refer to our [blog post for a longer discussion.](https://blog.kagi.com/unlimited-searches-for-10)

 ## Start Simple
 
-We understand picking the right plan can be challenging and while we have expertise in this area and are prepared to help we suggest starting with the simple Standard plan. It is very unlikely you will exceed the allotted searches for this plan unless you are in the top 1% of searching users. To be in the top 1% you would likely need to depend on search on a daily basis for your livelihood. As a reminder the Standard plan is USD $5/month with 300 searches included and additional searches available on a pay-per-use model, which are priced at 1.5 cents per search.

-## Scale With Your Costs
+## Upgrade to Unlimited Searches
 
-If you find that you are consistently paying an additional fee at the end of each month because you have the Standard plan and are exceeding 300 searches it is time to consider the Professional plan. This plan is priced at USD $10/month and you get 1000 searches! To exceed this amount of searches in a single month you are likely a developer, researcher or some other professional who relies on the internet for your livelihood and are searching dozens if not hundreds of times per day.
+If you find that you are consistently running out of searches at the end of each month because you have the Starter plan and need more than 300 searches it is time to consider the Professional plan. This plan is priced at USD $10/month and you get unlimited searches!
 
 ## Consider the Ultimate Plan for Advanced Features
 
-If you find yourself going over $25 per month due to increased pay-per-use search and you are interested in taking advantage of all the advanced features that Kagi is building then it is time to upgrade to the Ultimate plan.
-
-## Optionally, Consider the Numbers
-
-Some people like to see the numbers, and we have them prepared for you, however we recommend following the advice stated above if you are unsure how to get started, or simply don't like looking at math!
-
-## How Costs Break Down
-
-Now consider an example:
-
-* If a new user averages 5 searches per day (150/month), they’ll pay $5.00.
-* If a new users averages 15 searches per day (450/month), they’ll pay $5 + 150 * $0.015 = $7.25.
-* If a new users averages 30 searches per day (900/month), they’ll pay $10.
-* If a new users averages 40 searches per day (1200/month), they’ll pay $10 + 200 * $0.015 = $13.00.
-
-The average Kagi user is searching 700 times per month and we designed the **Professional** plan with this consumption in mind.
-
-* If you search less than 633 times per month, the Standard plan will be cheapest.
-* If you search more than 633, but less than 2000 times per month, the Professional plan is the cheapest.
-* If you search more than 2000 times per month, the Ultimate plan is for you.
+If you are interested in taking advantage of all the advanced features that Kagi is building then it is time to upgrade to the Ultimate plan. This gives you access to exclusive and early access to Kagi features and services.
+  * Note: Starting 9/21/2023, we’re giving Ultimate Plan users access to the closed beta of the [next generation of tools](../ai/assistant.md) that Kagi is bringing to the web.
