title: Trieve vs. Algolia
5+
excerpt: Compared to Algolia, Trieve offers a more powerful source available search platform with dense-vector semantic capabilities, RAG support, and a human fine-tuning admin dashboard for document expansion plus relevance weighting.

## Introduction

19+

This blog post is going to highlight Trieve relative to Algolia and explain which kinds of problems each are respectively better suited to solve. If we can highlight anything, it is that [Trieve is source-available and built in public on Github](https://github.com/devflowinc/trieve) whereas Algolia is fully closed. You can buy a license and host Trieve in your own cloud or on-premise which is something that Algolia explicity [does not offer](https://support.algolia.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406975236625-Can-I-run-Algolia-on-premises-on-my-own-servers).

## When to Use Trieve Over Algolia
24+
25+
- self-hosting on-premise or in your own cloud for privacy and security is valuable for your use-case
26+
- you want to tune search with techniques like document expansion and relevance weighting (merchandising)
27+
- taking advantage of the latest advancements in dense vector semantic search to create a better baseline is important to you
28+
- you have your own dense/sparse-vector encoding or re-ranker models which you would like to use
29+
- high quality recommendations are critical to your discovery problems
30+
- you intend to integrate gen-AI capability in your discovery UX through RAG or search-before-generate patterns
31+
32+
## When to Use Algolia Over Trieve
33+
34+
- built in analytics are necessary for your solution
35+
- you need ~100ms latency or less; Trieve is currently ~250ms
36+
- Algolia's prebuilt integrations for your UI framework are very important
37+
38+
## Comparison Summary
39+
40+
Trieve sets itself apart by being BSL-licensed self-hostable and built in public at [github.com/devflowinc/trieve](https://github.com/devflowinc/trieve) whereas Algolia is fully closed, having support for dense vector semantic search and recommendations while Algolia is only neural full-text, supporting gen-AI RAG, and shipping with an Admin UI for document expansion and weighting (AKA merchandising).
41+
42+
However, Trieve currently has latency times of ~250ms whereas Algolia is relatively consistent at ~100ms or less. The only time the Trieve team would say to use Algolia, given their closed-source and non self-hostable status, would be if you absolutely need sub-100ms latency times, built-in analytics, or their UI integrations. At Trieve, we are hard at work building these features to reach full parity with Algolia see for yourself on [Trieve's Github](https://github.com/devflowinc/trieve).
