Dimension Multiplier

All pricing is based on 512 dimensions. Higher dimensions use proportionally more of your allowance.

Dimensions Multiplier Free Vectors Common Models
128 0.25x 1,000,000 MiniLM, E5-small
256 0.5x 500,000 CLIP ViT-B/32
384 0.75x 333,333 all-MiniLM-L6-v2
512 1.0x 250,000 E5-base
768 1.5x 166,666 BGE-base, E5-large
1024 2.0x 125,000 Cohere embed-v3
1536 3.0x 83,333 OpenAI text-embedding-3
3072 6.0x 41,666 OpenAI text-embedding-3-large

Formula: free vectors = 250,000 × (512 ÷ your dimensions). Same multiplier applies to paid rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the pricing work? +

You pay only for vector storage above the free tier. The price depends on the number of vectors, their dimensions, and the tier you choose. All tiers include unlimited queries at no additional cost. Your first 250,000 vectors (at 512 dimensions) are always free.

How does the dimension multiplier work? +

All pricing is normalized to 512 dimensions. If your vectors are 1536D (3x larger), you use 3x your allowance per vector. This means the free tier covers 83,333 vectors at 1536D instead of 250,000 at 512D. The same multiplier applies to paid rates: $0.49/M at 512D becomes $1.47/M at 1536D.

Is there really no query fee? +

Correct. You can run as many queries as you want on any tier at no additional cost. You only pay for storage. This is possible because our infrastructure is self-hosted at fixed cost, and we pass that efficiency to you.

Can I switch between tiers? +

Yes. You can move collections between tiers at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Resuming from the Paused tier takes about 5 minutes. You are billed daily based on the tier each collection occupies.

What is the Paused tier? +

Paused is for collections you want to keep but are not actively querying. Your vectors and index are preserved on HDD at minimal cost ($0.09/M at 512D). When you need them again, resume takes about 5 minutes to move data back to queryable storage. Free tier collections that are inactive for 30 days are auto-paused.

Is there a free tier? +

Yes. Your first 250,000 vectors (at 512 dimensions) are free forever. No credit card required, no time limit. Higher-dimensional vectors use proportionally more of your free allowance. The free deduction applies to all paid tiers too — you only pay for vectors above the allowance.
