What's Good
MIT Community Edition. Fast typo-tolerant full-text, filters, faceting, hybrid/AI search path. One binary, great DX, SDKs everywhere. Self-host free for production CE.
The Catch
Vs Typesense/ParadeDB: dedicated search engine UX, not Postgres extension search. Enterprise Edition sharding/advanced ops is BUSL — commercial license for prod EE. Cloud is managed paid. CE is the free production path.
Verdict
MIT search CE. Self-host free; EE sharding and Cloud are paid.
