Why switch to Findalo.
-
9x cheaper without losing semantic AI
Klevu / Athos is enterprise: custom pricing $449+/month, annual contract, assisted onboarding. Findalo Pro €49 includes always-on semantic search with AI (concept matching, typo-tolerant). If your team is fewer than 50 people, Athos is overselling.
-
No sales call to get started
Klevu requires a demo + quote + signed contract before you touch the product. Findalo: sign up, install the module, and you have results in 10 minutes. True self-serve.
-
Monthly, not annual
Athos sells annual with a discount. If you want the flexibility to try it for 2 months and decide, they won't fit. Findalo charges month to month from day 1.
-
Built for European SMB, not US enterprise
Athos serves Fortune 1000 clients — the product is over-built for your Spanish SMB. Findalo is deliberately minimal for stores that need a search engine that works, not a Klevu Discovery Suite with 47 features.
-
Transparent public pricing
Klevu requires a custom quote before showing you a price. Findalo publishes its plans on findalo.io/precios — you know the cost before spending a minute on evaluation.
Migrating from Klevu (Athos Commerce): frequently asked questions.
How much would I save migrating from Klevu to Findalo?
Klevu Essential starts at ~$449/month ($5,388/year) on an annual contract. Findalo Pro (€49/month) covers semantic AI search, recommendations, and A/B testing — what 80% of SMB stores actually need. Typical annual savings: ~$4,500.
What does migrating from Klevu look like?
We export your synonyms, redirects, and pinned products from the Klevu API (or from the back office if you don't have API access). We give you a mapping script. We recommend a 7-14 day parallel period. We assist for free during the migration.
Klevu and Searchspring are now Athos Commerce. Does that change anything?
After the 2024 acquisition, both products coexist temporarily. Athos is consolidating pricing and roadmap — some legacy Searchspring customers are migrating to Klevu or leaving the platform. If you're evaluating, factor in the discontinuity risk.
I'm on Shopify Plus — does Findalo work?
Yes, though the Shopify app is on the roadmap (Q3 2026). If you need Shopify right now, we connect via custom API in the meantime. For Shopify Plus the price difference (Findalo Pro €49 vs Klevu Plus ~$700+) makes up for the initial technical setup.
Klevu has been around 15+ years. Findalo started in 2025. Risk?
Real. If your CFO needs a vendor with a 10-year track record, Klevu/Athos is the safe choice. Findalo is the rational bet if you want to save 90% while accepting the risk of a young vendor with solid technical backing (certified cloud infrastructure and PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processor).
