- Meilisearch — Meilisearch's own docs compare it with Algolia and include a migration guide, so it can replace Algolia as the search backend of a site or app, either self-hosted or on Meilisearch Cloud.
- Typesense — Typesense's docs position it against Algolia, include an Algolia migration guide and an InstantSearch adapter, so it can replace Algolia as the search backend while keeping an existing InstantSearch front end.
