Instead of Algolia
Algolia alternatives
Algolia combines keyword and semantic methods in an API-first search service, with tools for ranking, personalization, synonyms, analytics, A/B testing, merchandising, crawling, autocomplete, and query categorization. It supports web, iOS, Android, and API use, and offers hybrid and vector search with faceting. Algolia says its average response time is under 20 milliseconds. A free tier provides 10,000 monthly search requests and 50,000 records, while Grow tiers raise the index limit from 1 GB to 100 GB and add capacity and features.
