Sridhar Ramaswamy and Vivek Raghunathan, both former Google employees, launched Neeva, the first paid search engine.
Neeva is available as a $4.95 monthly subscription. In exchange, users will not see advertisements and will not have to worry about their personal information being collected.
The site’s design is remarkably similar to that of Google. Users will be able to transition to the new service more easily as a result of this. Its creators are not hiding: the project was conceived as the polar opposite of an American corporation’s policy on data collection and search. Even the most “expensive” queries, according to Ramaswami and Raghunathan, return clean results in their search engine. Several billion pages have been indexed at this time.
Features of Neeva:
- Integration with services such as Gmail, Outlook, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Slack.
- The Weather Channel is the weather provider.
- The search results are displayed on the map using Google Maps.
The search engine is currently only available to residents of the United States; however, users from other countries can access it using a VPN.
