However, Algolia has proven that customers derive significant business value from their investment in search, with organizations reporting $73 million in incremental revenue, saving $169,000 in development costs and $205,000 by reducing maintenance burden on IT.

Algolia has over 8,600 customers worldwide generating more than one trillion searches per year through its Search-as-a-Service platform, purpose-built to handle the traffic and usage that modern businesses require.
