There's MetaGer (https://metager.org/) which is run by German non-profit NGO SUMA-EV. Instead of a subscription it is a pre-paid key that's consumed per search, so you only ever pay for what you use. The NGO is also part of the European effort to build an OpenWebIndex. Disclaimer: I'm part of that NGO.
Never heard of this before - sounds interesting. However, I just went to try it, and I'm immediately in a catch 22. I have no idea whether the service is any good without adding funds, and I'm not going to add any funds without knowing if its any good.
