We've been using the paid version of Algolia for about 3 weeks now. First, the good stuff: the interface is super clean and intuitive, the search is genuinely fast, settings in the dashboard are flexible and easy to understand, and the API is straightforward.
One downside — sometimes, after a full index update, the operation needs to be repeated. Because of that, we haven’t been able to fully automate it yet, but in our case, that’s not a big deal.
Earlier this week, the index disappeared about 4 hours after a complete update.
That said, these small issues haven’t really gotten in the way of using the service. Search remains fast and stable, and it’s always easy to tweak things when needed. Honestly, I’m surprised there aren’t more positive reviews here — as a product, Algolia is great. I especially want to highlight how simple and intuitive the integration is.
