I see it like they're chasing the lower end of the market like single dev projects that don't want to spend much - which I guess makes sense. But for us this definitely would be a lot more expensive.

Well, if so they've failed in my case. I've got a customer doing £1m annual turnover on e-commerce, and we were about to start an integration with Algolia. The new pricing has stopped that from going ahead. I've been asked to find an alternative.

What is your stack ?
I made a simple Proof-of-concept of a PHP backend based on Redisearch compatible with the Instantsearch.js library.
You can take a look at it here : https://github.com/MKCG/algolia-on-redisearch/tree/master/ap...
With the Covid crisis we were no longer able to pay 3K per month for a basic search engine and now we are using a solution based on this on production (> 30M search/month).
