Pricing Strategy

Self-serve, free tier

As of July 20, 2026, Pinecone's pricing: The free Starter tier removes the barrier to evaluation, but the jump from Standard at $50/month to Enterprise at $500/month is steep; a developer whose usage outgrows Standard faces a 10x price increase before BYOC pricing even enters the conversation.
