Algolia

Algolia has a Free plan with 10,000 search requests and 50,000 records a month, no card needed per its pricing page. On top of that, Algolia's startup program gives $10,000 in credits for 12 months to new customers under 7 years old with less than $15M raised.

New Algolia customers incorporated no more than 7 years ago with under $15M in equity funding, per Algolia's program terms. Using another Algolia coupon in the past disqualifies you. Confirm when you redeem.

Algolia says the credits are valid for 12 months and unused credits lapse after that. They cannot be transferred. When they run out, the account is charged normally per the pricing page.

Grow starts at $0 a month and bills usage monthly: $0.50 per 1,000 extra search requests and $0.40 per 1,000 extra records, with 10,000 searches and 100,000 records included. Grow Plus charges $1.75 per 1,000 extra searches. The top plan is a custom annual contract.

Algolia's pricing page lists NeuralSearch on the top plan, which requires an annual contract. The credit applies to the Grow or Grow Plus plan, so it does not cover NeuralSearch.

Yes, within the Free plan: 10,000 searches, 50,000 records, 5,000 recommendation requests and 5,000 crawls a month. The pricing page does not say what happens above those limits, so expect to move to a monthly plan.
