What users say
Andi is commonly used as a privacy-first alternative to ad-supported search engines, delivering direct answers rather than a list of links. A frequently noted strength is its free, ad-free model that avoids tracking. A common limitation is that its accuracy claim of 87% relative to competitors is self-reported and has not been independently verified.
