COMPARE / VECTOR DATABASES
Vector databases, with the math.
Compare vector storage, index compute, and query costs for embeddings and AI search.
Managed cloud vector search indexes with cosine or dot-product similarity, metadata filtering, and standard index dimensions (384 to 1536 dims). High-availability production clusters or serverless units. Self-hosted deployments, on-prem clusters, and custom graph algorithms are excluded.

View exact values and assumptions
Each point follows your selected plan. Automatic choices use the lowest eligible supported plan per product. Missing values mean no supported plan fits. This varies one input, not all costs with customer count. Lines connect sampled estimates; prices between those points can change in steps or at plan limits.

Your monthly comparison
1 eligible products in this loaded set · Lowest modeled cost first
2 plans outside this workload
Pinecone · Standard Serverless
Pinecone billing is not modeled. Standard has a $50 monthly minimum; usage depends on namespace size, read units, write units, storage, and egress. Free-tier eligibility is not modeled. Pinecone limits storage, read units, and write units; vector and query counts alone cannot verify those limits.
Qdrant Cloud · Cloud Free Tier
Free-cluster eligibility is not modeled. Qdrant's RAM and disk limits cannot be verified from vector count alone; dimensions, metadata, and index configuration affect capacity. Managed cluster pricing is not modeled. Qdrant bills selected cloud resources and operating time; CPU, RAM, disk, region, and cluster configuration are required.
Prices reflect dated, supported plans. Matching a category does not mean matching features. How estimates work
