Database pricing FAQ

The total count of vector dimensions is a good indicator of the resources required — a simple number you can calculate, rather than abstract Read/Write units or CPU cycles. You are also billed for persistent and backup storage of objects and their embeddings.

The minimum covers the baseline cluster cost and includes charges for Vector Dimensions and Storage: $45/month on Flex, $280/month on Plus, $400/month on Premium. Backups are charged on top, based on data volume and retention.

Compression does not change the number of vector dimensions stored, but it reduces the memory and compute required for search. More aggressive compression yields greater efficiency, reflected in discounted list prices for vector dimensions.

Yes — list prices for all vector-dimension rates vary by cloud provider and region to reflect regional cost variations.

Weaviate Cloud uses the Weaviate open-source project, wrapped in a managed service that removes administration overhead and adds features like the Embedding Service, Query Agent, and Data Import.

Yes. Weaviate Cloud is SOC 2 audited, and Enterprise Cloud on AWS is HIPAA compliant. See the Trust Portal for details.
