Typesense Cloud
Managed clusters of the open-source Typesense engine, billed hourly by RAM and vCPU with no per-search or per-record fees.
Typesense Cloud charges for cluster size and hours, with no per-record or per-search fee. A 4-GB burstable node costs $72/month in Northern Virginia. The sizing here assumes about 400,000 records per GB of RAM; your indexed fields may need more. Production high availability uses three nodes, roughly tripling the cost, and Frankfurt prices are about 10–35% higher.

Billed per cluster-hour; searches and records are not metered. Modelled as the cheapest single-node configuration that fits each bucket. RAM follows Typesense's own sizing assistant (2-3 times the indexed data size / 0.8, using the low end) at ~1 KB per record, about 400k records per GB of RAM. Burstable vCPUs are used for low traffic, and at least 4 vCPUs above ~20 requests/second, as Typesense recommends. Prices are for N. Virginia from the official calculator. Frankfurt is about 10-35% more (e.g. 4 GB burst $79.20, 64 GB $972). High availability (3 nodes, recommended for production) roughly triples the price (4 GB burst HA $237.60). Bandwidth out $0.09/GB. EU regions include Frankfurt, Ireland, Paris, Stockholm, Milan and Spain. Typesense, Inc. is a US company.

Typesense Cloud: $864/yr estimated.
- Bonsai: $600/yr estimated · $264/yr bill differenceModeled ratesAssumes roughly 1 KB per record and checks document counts, not concurrency. Index overhead, peak traffic and availability can require a larger plan.
No cheaper managed estimate matches your filters. Adjust your usage or compare with your actual contract bill.
The price difference leaves out migration costs, operating costs and any features you’d need to replace.
