Algolia
Usage-metered per search and per record — every keystroke is a billed request. Versus one flat price set by catalogue size.

Also priced by catalogue size — but tiers gate support and services, going over your limit blocks the panel, and hosting is US-based.

A polished EU search suite billed in “units” — searches, catalogue items and pageviews all consume them — and quoted per site. Versus one flat, self-serve price.

What actually separates search platforms
Every comparison comes down to the same four questions — so we answer them the same way, every time.
How the bill grows
Usage meters charge you more in your best months. Flat catalogue-size pricing doesn’t move when traffic spikes.
What each tier includes
Many platforms gate synonyms, analytics or AI behind higher tiers. Every NitroSearch plan includes everything we ship.
Where your data lives
EU hosting and a cookieless widget by default — not as an enterprise add-on or a configuration project.
