It's written in small print under the screenshot of the "units widget" here [1]:
"Number of indexed records is capped at roughly 10% of annual search volume. See FAQ for more information."
The FAQ says:
"When using Annual Commitment pricing (minimum one year commitment and 1,200 units), each unit contains 1,000 searches x 12 = 12,000 searches during the year, and 100 x 12 = 1,200 maximum of records at any point in the year."

- gberger 6y agoSo for 1 million records, you need to spend $1k/month. Hmm.
- gildas 6y agoThe overage fees are also a mystery, the FAQ only says: "If you exceed your committed usage, there are overages that will be charged."
- beering 6y ago1 million records doesn't seem like all that much. If each document is 1 MB, that's only 1 GB of indexed data. Does Algolia add a lot of value on top of that?
- PudgePacket 6y ago1 MB * 1,000,000 = 1 TB
- kabes 6y agoThanks for pointing that out. I read an (old) article on the engineering behind it and they keep a lot in memory. So it makes sense to cap this somehow.
