Algolia Pricing

We use Algolia to provide deeper search functionality than in provided out-of-the-box by most content management systems. Algolia provides a richer search experience and is easy to integrate and configure.

No direct drawbacks. We've used it successfully for many years, and our clients understand that to offer quality search functionality to their customers, incurs a cost. I say this as many of the existing reviews say Algolia is expensive.

Algolia is a tool that comes with a lot of features. However, it's not as easy to implement as you would think.

It was not "plug and play". The implementation is integrated in the website and you need to work on the interface before you can implement it correctly.

Setting up full-text search of data stored in Firebase won't take longer than one day. Extremely easy-to-use ready-made components for Vue.js made our front-end developer happy and significantly reduced time to market.

I see Algolia a bit expensive for the cases where full-text search is just a nice-to-have feature. However we made our front-end to display data from Algolia only (originally data was retrieved from Firebase), and this pays off.

Ease of configuration regardless of language, in a few clicks you can already use it and speed in consultations

I believe it's still a little expensive for an early stage startup

Thank you Silas!

The documentation The ease of use The convenience. It's hard to select one

[SENSITIVE CONTENT] will ask for more. Maybe you could review the price downwards for developers in Africa

The clear analytics and ease to separate accounts when using multiple of them, however this comes at a high cost.

The difficulty to implement with wordpress. The high cost. The lack of flexibility when integrating with other sistems that algolia does not come out of the box for.

The sheer speed of the search is astonishing. You get results in next to no time. It's amazing as compared to a mysql query based search that Magento generally offers.

Cost, it is very very expensive. They also do not offer much in the way of support unless you pay even more. So you are stuck with trying to wade through their documentation which is not written very clearly to get the best results.

Great documentation and absolutely incredible customer support. Their developers answer technical questions, and provide you with custom code to fit your implementation.

The free plan includes a lot of operations per month, but as soon as you go over the limits, the pricing becomes quite aggressive. I'd rather pay per use, for the exact number of operations performed.

"Simple" is the word that I can use to describe Algolia. The ease of plugging in a link and getting into executing faster is a plus.

Pricing is great for a small project. I think having a model review for big enterprise could be great in term of how much it cost us to use you guys; as we are looking into using algolia for some large project.

Algolia provides an amazing search platform on the cloud. In literally a few steps and minutes you are able to have a good enough search (excluding time to populate it). I had no experience with other search engines like Elasticsearch before hand and I still found it greatly easy. The settings can be defined on the dashboard or via the API which can be both a good and a bad as it can cause miss-configuration. Lastly it is really fast, honestly I worked in commerce shops that build their own search and had to maintain it etc for less than 200k products, now I see that this was well, for no reason.

As a developer the main problem is the documentation. It lacks, it seems incomplete and although they try to show more languages it would be better to focus on coverage than language adaption.

Great tool that helps find desired things on you ecommerce shop or browser. Works very well and make searching faster.

Nothing for the moment, I think the tool is worth trying and seeing if it gives value to your business

Thank you Kasia!

We integrated the search into our Meagento 2 Enterprise shop and it works better than the Elstic Search from Magento! Very intelligent search with a great preview of the products and a individuel configurable landingpage for the products. You can easily chose the products via relvanz, newsest first and price. The search looks pretty good also in the mobile version. We love the dashboard with the very exclusive analytics :)

At the moment we cannot find any problems of the software.

Thank you Thomas!

easy to use. lots of features.

too expensive. poor support.

searching was never so responsive and quick before, thanks to Algolia which made my work super fast. Easy to setup, adapt and works extremely fast to display search results!

about price range: pricing model now is considerably more expensive maybe

Potentially good software but... pretty disappointed. Read cons. I wish i could share screenshot of their pricing page and the email i've got from their sales team.

Dirty an unethical marketing, luring to pay HUGE . Very disappointed. I wish i could share screenshot of their pricing page and the email i've got from their sales team.

Very Fast, Ease of Use, Documentation, Support, Low Price, Reliability, Typos Handling

Can't find any!

Algolia Search is an excellent add-in to your website; it significantly helped our customers to get relevant results, and to help them find what they want. This is a really great impact ! Besides I have to mention that setup and configuration are super easy to do : there is a nice dashboard, and you can configure the index and use the instantsearch feature. The developer documentation is awesome. Also, you can customize and check metrics, of course.

I've never found anything wrong with using Algolia so far. Pricing is far and the customer service is super responsive (<24h delay)

It was very to get started and overall it performed as needed. Being able to tweak result rankings is a fantastic feature.

The cost structure can be quite expensive for smaller companies, especially if you need to reindex your data frequently.

1. It's fast. 2. It works right, there are no glitches. 3. Best customer service that I've worked with in a long time.

No cons. It's the best around. It does have a little price tag, but it's well worth it of course....

Great features, easy to integrate with Salesforce API, fast and cheap for small business.

Add on packages to extend reporting is a flat fee and expensive for small business

The best feature is the simplicity of integration with your project, both in the back and front ends, as well as the ease with which the queries may be built.

Nothing material until now. We will keep experimenting and iterating with this tool and might come accross something worth mentioning. But for now, everything has worked fine.

Great to hear, thank you Luis!

- Easy to setup and use in any application or website - Can be a good solution to avoid configuring yourself an ElasticSearch server - The community free plan to help open source projects - Algolia provides extended analytics.

- As usual with a great service comes a great price

The app Algolia is one of the least expensive options.

Service could be improved, but basically is good

Great to hear, thank you!

The speed, it is really fast. For most use cases, everything is available out of the box. Good documentation.

Can be quite expensive while scaling. Difficult customization of React packages.
