The editorial view

Is it right
for your store?

Fit matters more than a feature count.

Consider Algolia when your team can define search requirements and implementation. Match the quoted capability to the tier: NeuralSearch on Elevate should not be priced as a cheaper keyword-search deployment.

Before you commit

The details
that matter.

Limits are part of choosing well.

Do not present the cheaper keyword-search tier as including full NeuralSearch. Autocomplete may generate multiple requests while a shopper types.
