Algolia Startup Program

Overview

The Algolia Startup Program gives eligible startups $10,000 in Algolia credits for one year, covering the search and discovery APIs used by their product.

What the Program Includes

• $10,000 in Algolia Credits: Valid for 12 months; unused credits lapse at the end of the term and are non-transferable.
• Support: Access to Algolia support during the credit period.
• Partner Credits: Credits toward other SaaS tools, including Datadog and Notion.
• Algolia Academy: Full access to Algolia's education resources.
• Visibility: The chance to be featured in Algolia's blog and video series.

Eligibility

• New customers only — existing paying customers and prior coupon-code users are not eligible.
• Age and funding limits are stated inconsistently on Algolia's own page: the program section cites "less than 7 years old" and "less than $15M in total funding raised", while the FAQ cites "less than three years old" and "less than $5M in funding". Confirm your eligibility with Algolia before applying.
• If credits are exhausted early, the account moves to pay-as-you-go pricing; committed plans are advertised with 20% discounts.

How to Apply

Submit the startup application form from the startup program page. Incubators, accelerators and investors have a separate partner track for their portfolio companies.
