Overview
Alokai is a frontend platform for commerce that sits between a retailer's backend and its shoppers. It combines a React or Vue storefront, a data layer (Connect) that puts backend, CMS and search behind one interface, managed cloud hosting, a deployment and monitoring console, analytics, and an AI layer (Compass) that runs inside the shopping flow.
- Best for
- Enterprise commerce teams running multi-brand or B2B/B2C stores on a headless frontend
- Pricing
- No prices are published; the Alokai Platform package is quoted on request, with cost depending on factors including yearly traffic.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- React (Next.js) or Vue (Nuxt.js) storefront code your team owns
- One data layer swaps backend, CMS or search by config change
- Vendor claims 60-80% storefront reuse across brands
- Managed cloud at 99.9% SLA with one-click deploy rollback
Trade-offs
- No published prices; the package is quoted after a sales conversation
- Cost depends on yearly traffic, so busy stores pay more
- Included Gold Support is capped at 120 hours a year
- Aimed at complex enterprise setups, not simple single-brand stores
