Choosing A Search Platform? Compare Us.
Feature by feature and price by price against the platforms you’re probably shortlisting — including where each of them beats us.
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. NitroSearch never gates a search feature, and search analytics comes with any paid plan.
Where Your Data Lives
EU hosting and a cookieless widget by default — not as an enterprise add-on or a configuration project.
