Typesense is an open-source search engine for developers that returns instant, typo-tolerant results and supports vector and semantic search.
Typesense keeps its index in memory for speed, exposes a REST API and ships client libraries for JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Java, Dart and .NET. You can self-host it or use Typesense Cloud, which provides a dedicated cluster with no limits on records or operations.
Developers building site search, ecommerce catalogs and app search who want an alternative to Algolia, Pinecone or Elasticsearch. The vendor says the platform handles 10B searches per month.
The software is open source and free to self-host. Typesense Cloud is priced by cluster configuration (memory from 0.5 GB to 1024 GB, vCPUs, optional high availability and search delivery network), with no starting price listed.
Meilisearch is another open-source search engine, Algolia is a hosted search service, and Kagi is a paid consumer search engine. Typesense pairs open source with hosted clusters.
