Algolia, native.
Algolia is the leading enterprise search platform for Shopify Plus brands. Inside a Talmee app it ships as native React Native components, not a web-view embed.

How it is wired
Algolia's InstantSearch React Native components ship as part of Talmee. Search, filters, recommendations and personalisation all native.
The native vs web-view fork
Algolia is the most expensive search option but typically delivers the strongest ROI on catalogues over 5,000 SKUs. Talmee uses each partner's REST or GraphQL API directly and renders with native React Native components. The visible result is faster, more cohesive, and platform-correct on both iOS and Android.
Pricing
Talmee's flat £1,999 a month covers the Algolia integration build and every release after. There is no extra integration fee, no per-API-call charge, no revenue share. The brand's own Algolia subscription is paid directly to Algolia, unchanged.
On Algolia in a Talmee app
How is Algolia wired into a Talmee app?
Algolia's InstantSearch React Native components ship as part of Talmee. Search, filters, recommendations and personalisation all native. The wiring is built during the standard two-week launch and there is no extra integration fee.
What is the typical performance lift?
+30% search-led conversion when search ranks on transactional intent. Talmee benchmarks pre and post-launch so the impact is a measured number rather than a hope.
Why does it matter that the integration is native?
Algolia is the most expensive search option but typically delivers the strongest ROI on catalogues over 5,000 SKUs. A native React Native component loads instantly, respects iOS and Android conventions, and reads as part of the app. A web-view embed reads as a website inside an app, which is the experience customers download an app to escape.
