Try the Standard plan with $300 in credits
Add unlimited teammates and index backups to the org you already use. Import large datasets from object storage instead of upserting them batch by batch. Try it for three weeks with no up-front payment.
What you get during the trial
Import instead of re-upserting
Load large datasets straight from object storage in one pass.
Back up before a production change
Restore the index if something breaks. Backups are billed by storage.
Choose who can do what
Give each teammate the role they need. Sign in through SAML single sign-on.
Grow past prototype limits
Get more projects, indexes, namespaces, storage, reads, and writes.
Bring the whole team into one org
Starter stops at 2 users and Builder at 5. Standard has no user limit.
Get help while you try it
Developer Support is included during the trial.
More than 10,000 customers build on Pinecone
We wanted sub-second vector search across millions of alerts, an API interface that abstracts away the complexity, and we didn’t want to have to worry about database architecture or maintenance.

Questions about the trial
Who can start the trial?
An org owner or billing admin, from Billing in the Pinecone console. If that isn't you, send this page to your org's owner.
Do I pay anything to start?
No. The trial needs no up-front payment. When it ends, adding a payment method keeps you on Standard.
What does Standard cost after the trial?
A $50 monthly minimum. Usage past that is pay as you go, at the unit prices on the pricing page.
What happens when the trial ends?
Pinecone reminds you before it ends. After 21 days, or once the $300 is used, add a payment method to stay on the Standard plan, move to Enterprise, or go back to Starter. Until you choose, quotas are blocked. The Standard plan trial guide covers what a downgrade deletes.
Is my org eligible?
Orgs on Starter or Builder can start it. Each org gets one trial. Orgs already on Standard or Enterprise can't start one. Neither can orgs that signed up through a cloud marketplace.
I'm on Builder. Do I keep paying $20 a month during the trial?
No. Pinecone doesn't charge the $20 Builder fee while the Standard trial runs. To go back to Builder afterward, the org has to fit Builder's limits, with backups deleted and Standard-only features such as import and single sign-on turned off.
Try Standard on the org you already use
Get three weeks and $300 in credits. Add unlimited teammates, index backups, and object-storage imports to your current org. After the trial, Standard has a $50 monthly minimum.
