Frequently Asked Questions

Vector DB cost drivers?
Pinecone: charges per pod/hour + $0.07/GB storage. Qdrant Cloud: per-cluster. Weaviate: similar. Self-hosted PGVector on AWS: just EC2 + storage. Chroma: free + infra cost.
Re-embedding cost?
When you change models or strategies, you must re-embed everything. Budget for this. For 10M documents × 500 tokens, re-embed with text-embedding-3-small costs ~$100.
Which DB for small workloads?
<1M vectors: PGVector on your existing Postgres is free-ish. 1-10M: Qdrant Cloud starter ($99/mo). 10M+: Pinecone Serverless. <1K queries/day: any free tier works.
