TrustList summary

Pinecone is a fully managed vector database service from Pinecone Systems, a company founded in 2019 by Edo Liberty. It offers dense, sparse and full-text indexes, and is aimed at teams that want hosted similarity search for embeddings without operating the engine themselves. The product is proprietary and has no open-source core, so there is no self-managed option; it runs as a managed cloud service, and a Bring Your Own Cloud deployment is also offered. No release version or release date is published on the pricing page, so none is listed here. Pricing is plan based. The Starter plan is free, the Builder plan costs $20 a month flat, the Standard plan has a $50 monthly minimum with a three-week trial that includes $300 in credits, and the Enterprise plan has a $500 monthly minimum. Support tiers run from Free up to Premium at $250 a month. Buyers should note that because the service is closed source and charged against plan minimums, the monthly cost has a floor on the paid plans, and the data lives in a vendor-operated service rather than on infrastructure the buyer controls.
