Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching from Algolia to bcloud AI.
How do I know the migration won't break my site?
We run both systems in parallel for 5-7 days before you flip the switch. Your site never experiences downtime. If anything goes wrong, you rollback to Algolia instantly. We also provide shadow traffic testing so you can validate quality before going live.
It won’t be—but if it is, we guarantee free tuning until it’s better. We also offer an A/B test guarantee: run both systems live for 30 days and measure conversion lift. If Algolia wins, we’ll cover your switching costs.
We include comprehensive onboarding: API documentation, video tutorials, office hours, and a dedicated Slack channel with our team. Most teams are productive within 2-3 days. There’s no training cost—it’s included in your subscription.
Yes. Many customers run bcloud for general product search and keep Algolia for specialized queries (like geographic search or inventory). We support hybrid setups. Our team can help design the optimal architecture.
We’re confident it won’t be, but if it is, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. You can switch back to Algolia without any penalty.
You save money immediately (lower monthly bill). Conversion lift usually appears within 30 days (as customers experience better search). Most customers break even on switching costs in the first month.
Yes. We support 40+ languages with localized embeddings and query understanding. Multi-region deployments are available for enterprises.
Unlike Algolia’s per-search model, your cost doesn’t increase. At 10M searches/month, bcloud still costs $5,000/month. We’re built for scale from day one with auto-scaling infrastructure.
We have native integrations with BigCommerce, Shopify Plus, Magento, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Custom integrations take 1-2 weeks. We also provide REST/GraphQL APIs for direct integration.
We export it, ingest it into bcloud, and verify completeness. Your Algolia account stays active until you’re ready to cancel (usually 30-60 days after switching). You maintain full access to your data throughout.
