They listed their sources before and they removed https://web.archive.org/web/20231228222303if_/https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.html

Vendor Status Mojeek Direct license Brave Direct license Yandex Direct license Wikipedia Direct license TripAdvisor Direct license Yelp Direct license Apple Direct license Wolfram Alpha Direct license Our own Small Web Index Proprietary With Google and Bing, we failed - not for lack of trying. Bing: Their terms didn’t work for us from the start. Microsoft’s terms prohibited reordering results or merging them with other sources - restrictions incompatible with Kagi’s approach. In February 2023, they announced price increases of up to 10x on some API tiers. Then in May 2025, they retired the Bing Search APIs entirely, effective August 2025, directing customers toward AI-focused alternatives like Azure AI Agents. Google: Google does not offer a public search API. The only available path is an ad-syndication bundle with no changes to result presentation - the model Startpage uses.and “it doesn’t just act as a proxy for other search engines” it exactly does this, Teclis is <1% of the results (you can see yourself https://teclis.com/)
