Features

Choosing the right Algolia Alternative

The market offers a couple of viable options for those who want to provide an advanced search experience for their customers. We’ve divided the research process into four crucial categories essential for identifying the top Algolia search alternative.

AI-powered Search

Powerful full-Text Search

Look beyond essential instant search tools and consider additional features such as search analytics, customizable search bars to match your brand, and faceted search to delight users. Also, prioritize advanced search capabilities like incremental feed updates, super-fast instant searches, and AI-powered search suggestions. These advanced features will boost conversions and align with your overall business goals.

Tailor-made results

Advanced personalization

Personalized search experiences are key for e-commerce platforms. Implement typo tolerance to account for user mistakes and offer the best alternatives for out-of-stock products. Furthermore, prioritize search relevance using an AI search engine that analyzes queries in real-time to deliver instant and accurate results. Delight users with relevant content and product suggestions that are tailor-made to each based on their previous browsing.

Easy integration

Integration options

Flexibility is vital when integrating any intelligent search solution. As every e-commerce business operates differently, seek providers that offer both custom integration and front-end integration options for e-commerce platforms. This way, you can focus more on providing and maintaining a lightning-fast search experience without wasting time figuring out how to integrate a search box into your website.

Conscious choice

ROI

While price should not be the sole determining factor, evaluating the price-performance ratio is essential. Opt for search tools with fair usage-based pricing, which allows easy vertical scaling and flexibility. The largest benefit is that you get a complete list of features at your disposal, but you will never overpay if they don’t get used by many people. That way, you can maintain your budget to match your earnings.

Main perks

Why is Luigi's Box a suitable Algolia Alternative?

Self-service integration, language support of CEE languages, and A/B testing in the offline environment are only a few of the advanced features of Luigi's Box that help you deliver customers a seamless experience and bring you higher ROI and sales.

No-code integration

Luigi’s Box offers a unique advantage with its no-code front-end integration installation service. With just one line of code, you can incorporate our key features seamlessly into your existing CMS, saving valuable time and effort. You don’t even need help from IT experts to integrate our search interface.

Incremental feed update

There is no point in updating the entire feed if it doesn’t include any updates, which is why we offer Incremental Feed Update. When updates occur in your product feed, only the adjusted items are updated, which results in more favorable cumulative pricing at the end of the month.

Advanced language support

Experience the power of Luigi’s Box advanced features, including exceptional language support. If your store operates in multiple languages, particularly within the CEE region, our platform can deliver great results. All language processing features work equally well in all languages.

Offline A/B tests

Luigi’s Box offers offline testing, allowing you to test changes without any losses that may occur from deploying versions with errors that could bring you bad user reviews. This provides a secure starting point to determine the effectiveness of changes before moving on to live A/B tests.

Pricing

Luigi’s Box operates on a business model similar to Algolia. Beyond pricing, we provide quality website search that pays for itself. Our technology, coupled with the additional value we offer, makes Luigi’s Box one of the most relevant solutions for e-commerce stores and websites alike.
