 Exhibit 10.7 

REPURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT 

This Repurchase Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 16, 2013 by and between
Sogou Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), and China Web Search (HK) Limited (the “Shareholder”). The Company and the Shareholder are sometimes referred to herein individually as a
“Party,” and together as the “Parties.” 
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Repurchase/Put Option. 

 1.1 Grant of Option. The Shareholder hereby grants to the
Company the option (the “Repurchase Option”) exercisable by the Company at its sole election by written notice to the Shareholder delivered at any time on or after March 16, 2014 and prior to July 31, 2014 to repurchase
from the Shareholder 14,400,000 Series A Preferred Shares (“Series A Preferred Shares”) of the Company, representing 100% of Series A Preferred Shares held by the Shareholder as of the date hereof, for a price of $3.28 per Series A
Preferred Share (or $47,284,490 in the aggregate) (the “Repurchase Price”) payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Shareholder’s Designated Bank Account (as defined below). 

1.2 Grant of Put. The Company hereby grants to the Shareholder an option (the “Put Option”) exercisable by the
Shareholder at its sole election by written notice to the Company delivered at any time during the period between the date hereof and July 31, 2014 to sell to the Company 14,400,000 Series A Preferred Shares of the Company, representing 100% of
Series A Preferred Shares held by the Shareholder as of the date hereof, for a price of $3.28 per Series A Preferred Share (or $47,284,490 in the aggregate) (the “Sale Price”) payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the Shareholder’s Designated Bank Account (as defined below). 
 1.3 Effect of Exercise of Option or Put. Following such
exercise of either the Repurchase Option or the Put Option and payment of the Repurchase Price or the Sale Price (as applicable) and the removal of the Shareholder from the Company’s register of members in respect of the purchased Series A
Preferred Shares, the Shareholder will have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Series A Preferred Shares so repurchased by the Company. The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s payment of the Repurchase
Price/Sale Price will be in lieu of any accruing or other dividend to which the Shareholder might be entitled under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as then in effect, or otherwise up to and including the date that the
Shareholder ceases to be a member of the Company. 
 1.4 No Action Required. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s exercise
of the Repurchase Option shall require no further action by the Shareholder, and the Shareholder’s exercise of the Put Option shall also require no further action by the Company, except for the payment of the Repurchase Price or Sale Price, as
applicable, and the signing of the Instrument of Transfer. 

  
 1 

 1.5 Instrument of Transfer. No later than three days after delivery of the option notice
under Section 1.1 or 1.2 , as the case may be, (i) the Company and the Shareholder shall execute and deliver to each other an instrument of transfer and surrender (the “Instrument of Transfer”), in a form
substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) the Shareholder shall designate in writing to the Company a bank account (the “Designated Bank Account”) to receive payment of the Repurchase Price
or Sale Price upon the Company’s exercise of the Repurchase Option or the Shareholder’s exercise of the Put Option, as applicable. 
  

	 	2.	Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. 

 2.1 Voting. Subject to compliance by
the Company with its obligations under this Agreement, the Shareholder irrevocably agrees that from the date hereof until the earlier of the effective date of the Company’s repurchase of the Shareholder’s Series A Preferred Shares pursuant
to the Repurchase Option or Put Option, it shall abstain from voting at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or any adjournment thereof, however called, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company. The
Shareholder hereby acknowledges and confirms that such agreement to abstain is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked by the Shareholder. 
  

	 	3.	Representations and Warranties of the Parties. 

 3.1 Representation and Warranties of
the Parties. Each Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the other Party that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in any breach of
any terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a default under any agreement, commitment or other arrangement by which such Party or such Party’s properties is bound or any decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable
to such Party. 
 3.2 Representation and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents, warrants and covenants
that the Shareholder is the sole owner of the Series A Preferred Shares, that the Series A Preferred Shares constitute the Shareholder’s entire direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company, that the Series A Preferred Shares are owned
by the Shareholder, of record and beneficially, free and clear of all charges, pledges, liens, equities, hypothecations, mortgages, security interests, rights of first refusal, or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, and that, other than as
set forth in this Agreement, the Shareholder has made no agreement or commitment relative to the purchase, sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any of the Series A Preferred Shares. 

4. Indemnification by Shareholder. The Shareholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers,
directors, agents and employees (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities imposed by any governmental or tax authority of any applicable jurisdiction on any Company Indemnified Party with respect
to any and all tax liabilities or obligations of any amount or nature of the Shareholder resulting or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
