Plans and prices
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | $16/mo minimum | Self-serve usage-based plan with all core database features included; entry tier (previously a $64/month minimum). |
| Scale | $256/mo minimum | Adds HIPAA BAA, SSO, audit logs, and priority support on top of usage-based billing. |
| Enterprise | $4,096+/mo (≈35% usage premium) | Single-tenancy, BYOC, CMEK, private networking, 24/7 support and a 99.95% uptime SLA. |
What to watch for on the bill
- No free tier and a monthly spend minimum, making pgvector cheaper for small/early projects
- 99.95% uptime SLA is gated to the expensive Enterprise tier only
- Critics argue the storage-cost framing understates real latency/operational tradeoffs of serverless object-storage search
