Pricing Strategy
Self-serve, free tier
As of July 20, 2026, Zilliz's pricing: Free and Standard tiers cost nothing, Enterprise runs $197/month, and Business Critical plus BYOC require a sales call; a buyer scaling vector workloads will feel the usage-based costs quickly, since Performance Optimized vectors run $63 per million per month versus $5 on Tiered Storage, so storage tier selection is a real budget decision.
