Search engines like Google and Bing claim to be free, but users pay by surrendering their data—surely you’ve noticed that ads for a product you recently researched magically begin appearing on every website you subsequently visit. Neeva wants to change that, offering a totally ad-free and private search experience starting at $4.95 a month (the first three months are free). Developed by a team of former Google employees, Neeva offers apps for Android, iPhone and iPad, and extensions for browsers. Since launching in June, it has garnered loads of positive reviews. —Jason Cipriani
