This looks really cool and I might try the self hosted option out on my small website as an upgrade from Postgres’ full text search.

I was hoping the cloud version would be more appealing, granted there seems to be a generous free tier but the next option is $1200 a month?!

their free tier looks like it has a "pay as you go" option once you exceed it that's identical to the paid option per 1K searches and 1K documents. You are basically paying for priority support, pretty common strategy and seems fair to me.

just noticed you don't get high availability on free tier which sucks, but I guess if search is mission critical to the point you need it, you would be willing to pay. Most of these database type companies start off targeting enterprise and then roll out self-serve solutions as they scale.

Sorry, it might not be obvious, but you can go over the free tier and pay for the usage at 0.25$ for each 1000 searches/documents :)

Ah yep sorry I missed that! Good to know. I just saw the next option was $1200 and my eyes became fixated on the number.

Maybe I will try out the cloud version then even though I expect my site would probably be well in the free tier limit, like I said it seems like a very generous tier.

Was excited to see a non-GC'ed search engine that looked solid. But, without having the replicated - distributed version of it in the "free" tier makes it hard to really evaluate.
