What's Good
AGPL-3.0 Community. Self-managed free forever on a single node. pg_search for full-text and hybrid search plus analytics on Postgres. Verified homepage/pricing 2026-09-04.
The Catch
Search + analytics inside Postgres (pg_search) — not a separate search server. Distinct from Typesense/Meilisearch (cut: no free forever Cloud). Cloud is waitlist/beta — NOT a free hosted tier. Enterprise HA is sales; check current Enterprise pricing on the vendor site.
Verdict
AGPL Postgres search. Community self-host free forever. Cloud is not the free path.
