Algolia Cost Tuning
Overview
Algolia pricing is based on search requests and records. A search request is one API call (which may contain multiple queries via search({ requests: [...] })). Records are counted across all indices including replicas.
Pricing Structure (2025)
| Plan | Records Included | Search Requests | Additional Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build (Free) | 1M records | 10K requests/mo | N/A |
| Grow | 100K free, then $0.40/1K | 10K free, then $0.50/1K | Pay as you go |
| Grow Plus | 100K free, then $0.40/1K | 10K free, then $1.75/1K | + AI features |
| Premium | Custom | Custom | Volume discounts |
What Counts as Records
- Every object in every index = 1 record
- Standard replicas duplicate records (multiply your count)
