What do you like best about Algolia?

When trying to learn about Algolia as a new customer, it is very easy to navigate their website and see clearly what their pricing and structure plans are. The implementation of it on my company website, DollarProbs.com was easy and we did not experience any major issues or bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

It would be better to see how Algolia can expand on its current sets of search API data, and be able to give more in-depth reports in its weekly usage report emails it sends out. Making it a bit easier to switch plans would be more helpful, but overall it is quite simple to find needed information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing"
5/5
What do you like best about Algolia?

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Algolia often dislike the fact that it can be very expensive, especially as their company grows. The pricing model, which charges per search request, can lead to surprisingly high bills. They also find that it has a steep learning curve and can be complex to set up. Additionally, some users on lower-tier plans have reported that the customer support is not as helpful as it is for larger, enterprise-level clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
