Managed Solr Free Trial - SearchStax
SearchStax®, the leading Managed Solr platform, offers a "free trial" program for prospects. You can experiment with a cloud-based Solr deployment for up to two weeks, free of charge. No credit card is required for the duration of your free trial.
Trial Deployments
As a new SearchStax user, you may create one "free trial" deployment for evaluation. There are four free-trial deployments available:
- Amazon Web Services, single-node (NDN2), 2 GB memory, 16 GB storage.
- Amazon Web Services, two-node cluster (NDC4), 4 GB memory, 32 GB storage.
- Microsoft Azure, single-node (NDN2), 2 GB memory, 16 GB storage.
- Microsoft Azure, two-node cluster (NDC4), 4 GB memory, 32 GB storage.
It usually takes five minutes to set up a single-node deployment, and up to fifteen minutes to set up a cluster using AWS. For Azure, setup times can be longer. Feel free to explore our documentation and our Help Center while you wait.
When you become a SearchStax customer, a much larger selection of providers and deployments becomes available.

Month-to-Month vs. Annual Commitment
The prices shown when creating a new deployment in Managed Solr are the month-to-month self-service rates. Much lower rates apply to annual commitments, sometimes as much as 50% lower! See our detailed pricing web page.
