Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I increase the development speed of my website. If I need to make any changes I finish it in less than 5 minutes. Algolia is simple and straightforward to use. Note that I've only used their search service, but it does a great job, properly handling misspellings, etc. without configuration. Algolia can't be faulted for its ease of integration nor it's incredible speed. I had it running inside my Angular projects in no time and my customers were extremely happy. - Integrates very nicely into a JAMstack site. - Flexibility in record type makes it easy to integrate into existing sites. It was a very straightforward experience getting it set up. It works perfectly and is blazing fast. The analytics are very informative and helped us iron out some problems with our data. Cons They should better document the components, and there should be fewer limitations, such as NumericRange that automatically marks the minimum and maximum for you. The documentation could be improved; it takes a surprising number of clicks to find out how to make calls in a specific language's API. Unfortunately, the cost of Algolia makes it completely unscalable and unsustainable for my business. I have opted for an open source self-hosted solution. Sadly, I now have to manage a cloud server but my search costs have reduced by 90%, - Difficult to test without deploying. - Requirement to display logo for free tier. Nothing, there has not been anything yet that was not good.
