How to pick an Algolia alternative?

With every product out there promising the best product discovery experience, selecting the best match for your e-store can be overwhelming. To get the best from your e-shop's search engine, look out for these features when searching for a Magento 2 Algolia search alternative:

Ease of integration

One challenge Magento 2 store owners face with Algolia is the complex, time-consuming installation process. So, when choosing an alternative, find out the onboarding process and how easy it is to integrate the e-commerce search solution into your site.

With Luigi’s Box no-code front-end DIY implementation option, integrating a search solution on your e-store has never been easier.

Advanced features

Beyond helping customers find the product they seek on your e-shop, you owe each visitor a seamless, personalized product search experience. So, find a product with a fine collection of advanced features such as Typo-Tolerance for typo correction, and Product Recommender for searches without results. If a provider lacks these essential advanced features, don’t settle. Find another.

Return of investment

When comparing packages, remember the cheapest service isn’t necessarily the best solution. Choose a product that offers great value for the price tags. Usage-based pricing may be the most convenient plan for e-commerce businesses (particularly small-scale e-shops), as it offers custom plans that allow you to pay for needed features and adjust plans over time to suit your dynamic business goals and budget.

Analytics tools

Opt for a product that improves your site’s search performance and offers detailed insights into customers’ behavior. Analytics uses search history to help you understand how customers interact with your products, recommend the best strategies for a delightful search experience, and boost conversion.
