People also ask
Should I self-host or use Cloud?
Self-hosting is free and gives you full infrastructure control, but you manage updates, backups, and scaling yourself. Cloud removes all of that with fully managed service, automatic upgrades and email support included. Most teams start on Cloud and never need to self-host.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Cloud includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to start.
How does multi-tenancy work in Meilisearch?
Meilisearch uses tenant tokens to isolate data at the search level. You store all tenant documents in a single index with a tenant identifier field, then generate JWT-based tenant tokens that automatically filter results. Each tenant only sees their own data, requiring no separate indexes or infrastructure.
Can I self-host Meilisearch for free?
Yes. Meilisearch is open source under the MIT license and you can deploy it on your own infrastructure with no usage limits.
Is there a limit on the number of tenants?
No. Meilisearch has no hard limit on tenants. Since tenant isolation is handled via token-based filtering rather than separate indexes, you can scale to thousands of tenants on a single instance.
