Gotchas
- The 12 months start at acceptance, not at first use; unused credits lapse with no extension.
- Any past Algolia coupon code disqualifies you, and current or former paying customers can't apply.
- Credits can't be applied to a committed paid contract and aren't transferable.
- Algolia may use your name and logo in marketing and as a reference account as a condition of the program.
- Usage beyond the credits is billed at normal rates; the application owner is responsible for any charges.
About the Algolia program
The Algolia Startup Program grants $10,000 in Algolia credits to use within 12 months of acceptance. Under the program terms, the credits cover Algolia services on the Grow or Grow Plus plan at list price. Unused credits expire after 12 months with no extension, and once they are used up or expire you are billed at normal rates.
Eligible companies were incorporated no more than seven years before applying, have raised less than $15M in equity funding, and are not a previous or existing paid Algolia subscriber. Free-plan users can apply. A company directly controlled by a parent that fails these requirements, or by an Algolia competitor, is not eligible, and anyone who has used another Algolia coupon code is excluded.
The program also lists credits for other SaaS products (Datadog, Notion and more), Algolia Academy resources, support, and a chance to be featured in Algolia's blog and video series. By joining, you agree that Algolia may use your name and logo in marketing and as a reference account.
