“A big difference between Beam and other SaaS products we’ve used is that we feel like we’re getting a truly personal service tailored to our unique needs as a business.”

Algolia Overview

Algolia is an industry leader in search. Algolia’s strength is its primary product: Algolia Search. It helps businesses maximize the speed of search and discovery with an API that delivers content to users in seconds. Developers can customize the relevance of their user experience and get insights on how users interact with it.

Algolia Recommend falls short of expectations. While Algolia’s dominance with its Search product is undeniable, its Recommend product lacks many of the capabilities of a best-in-class recommendation engine. According to customers, the results from its recommendations fall short of expectations. Algolia also notes that many crucial features are not incorporated into its recommendation product, such as personalized recommendations.

How Beam is different:
Beam is a premium, customized recommendation engine with flexibility to power every unique commerce scenario.

What is Beam?

Beam is a better Algolia Recommend alternative for personalized recommendations. Companies with hundreds or thousands of products must take a proactive approach to discovery. The Beam platform enables this method, boosting conversions and revenue by surfacing the most relevant products for each customer based on their behavior and tastes.


Fully tailored for your business’ unique needs. Our customers get unprecedented results, largely attributed to our tailor-made approach.
