Kagi Small Web brings you fresh content from real people: bloggers, creators, and independent voices that make the internet worth exploring. The web has become dominated by algorithms, ads, and AI-generated noise. Small Web cuts through it all to surface genuine human expression: personal blogs, independent YouTube creators, open-source projects, and webcomics from people who create because they love it. ## What is the Small Web? Think of the internet as a huge neighborhood. There are millions of people around, but we rarely bump into each other anymore. The Small Web is that quieter corner where real humans share their thoughts, projects, and creativity without the corporate megaphone. Kagi curates thousands of these independent voices and delivers fresh posts from the last seven days, so you always discover something new. ### Features • Browse content from over 30K+ blogs, YouTube creators, GitHub projects, and webcomics • Bookmark posts to read later • Send appreciation to creators • Filter by category to find exactly what interests you • Use reader mode for a clean, distraction-free reading experience ### Open Source Small Web is completely open source. Check out the code, suggest improvements, or see how we curate our sources on GitHub. ### From Kagi Small Web is built by Kagi, the company behind the ad-free Kagi Search. We're on a mission to humanize the web, and this app is one small step toward surfacing the people behind the posts. Ready to meet some neighbors?

See Also is the typography-first Wikipedia reader in the spirit of V for Wikipedia. It's built for one thing: the quiet pleasure of reading the world's largest encyclopedia, beautifully. Most encyclopedia apps treat articles like web pages. See Also treats them like something worth reading. It features real typography, generous margins, and a layout that gets out of the way so the writing can do its work. TYPOGRAPHY THAT RESPECTS THE TEXT • Five hand-crafted reading styles: Classic, Almanac, Field Guide, Broadsheet, and Nocturne. Switch between them with a live preview as you choose. • Book-style first-line indents, balanced measure, and considered line spacing. • Light, Dark, or automatic appearance for any time of day. • Dynamic Type and accessibility support throughout. READING, NOT BROWSING • A clean article view, not a wrapped mobile website. • Collapsible "Quick facts" and data tables that stay out of your way until you want them. • A full-screen photo viewer with pinch-to-zoom, pan, and swipe-to-dismiss. • Bookmark anything; your saved articles keep their images for offline reading. A MAP OF WHAT'S AROUND YOU • Discover articles about the places near you on an interactive map. • Wander a city and read its history where it happened. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS • No account. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. • See Also has no servers and never phones home; it talks directly to the encyclopedia's public API and nothing else. • Your bookmarks, history, and preferences live only on your device. · · · Article content is from Wikipedia, available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC BY-SA).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Small Web at Free against See Also's $4.99. Small Web also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). See Also's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
