Pricing
Pricing for every Meilisearch operator — from one instance to many.
Free for one Meilisearch instance, forever. Paid plans add team seats, the visual settings editor, and unlimited indexes — billed monthly or annually with no contract.
Your admin keys never leave your server. AdminDex encrypts them at rest with authenticated AES-256 and decrypts them only in-memory for the duration of a single outgoing HTTP request. Keys are never logged, never displayed in the UI, and never sent anywhere except your own Meilisearch.

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the billing portal and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period. We don't pro-rate refunds, but we don't charge for the unused time either.
What happens if I downgrade?
Your existing data stays. Features tied to the old plan stop working at the end of the current billing period. Team members and instances above the new plan's limits stay accessible to you but you can't add more until you upgrade again.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes. Annual billing is roughly 17% cheaper than paying monthly across every paid plan. You can switch between monthly and annual from the billing portal.
Is there a free trial of the paid plans?
Yes — the Free plan is forever and includes one instance plus the document browser. Upgrade anytime when you need more instances, the visual settings editor, API key management, or team access.
Do you take card payments only?
Yes — we use Stripe for all payments, which means card and major wallets. No invoicing or wire transfers in v1.
What happens if my Meilisearch instance goes down?
AdminDex's dashboard shows the instance as Unreachable, but the rest of the app keeps working. Your other instances are unaffected. The 5-minute health check loop will flip the pill back to green automatically as soon as your server responds again.
Does AdminDex make any background calls to my Meilisearch?
Yes, but you control them. The health-check loop hits /health every 5 minutes (read-only). Every other call to your Meilisearch is triggered by something you click in the UI — there are no scheduled writes, no background syncs, no analytics scraping. Every operation surfaces a copy-able curl example so you can see the exact request before you submit it.
Can I self-host AdminDex itself?
Not in v1. Today AdminDex is a hosted service. Self-hosting AdminDex is on the roadmap if compliance requires it — get in touch and we'll prioritise.
