Typesense is a lightning-fast, open source search engine architected from the ground up for performance and ease of use.

A good way to think about Typesense is that it is an open source alternative to Algolia and an easier-to-use alternative to ElasticSearch.

About Us

We are a lean bootstrapped team of engineers passionate about making great search technology accessible to everyone. We believe that search technology choices widely available to developers today, either have a steep learning curve and a heavy operational burden, or are proprietary and expensive. We want to change that.

We are on a mission to democratize search. We want to reduce the time-to-market for developers to build a blazing-fast search experience that provides relevant results out-of-the-box, all without breaking the bank and without complexity & operational overhead.

We are a small team trying to do big things and we believe that open sourcing our work helps combine forces with our community and force-multiply our collective efforts.

Supporting Us Financially

Typesense is 100% free & open source. But for an open source project to be sustainable for the long-term, we believe that it needs to have a sustainable source of funds to keep fueling continued development. Your financial support would mean the world to us and would help make Typesense a robust product that meets your needs.

Here are a couple of ways to support us:

• Use our managed/hosted SaaS service called Typesense Cloud.
• Purchase one of our Support Plans.
• Sponsor us on Github Sponsors.

We appreciate your support on our journey to democratize search.
