This page shows you how to upgrade or downgrade your Pinecone billing plan.

To change your billing plan, you must be an organization owner or billing admin.

Upgrade your billing plan

You can upgrade from the free Starter plan to pay-as-you-go billing in the Pinecone console or through a cloud marketplace.

To commit to annual spending, contact Pinecone.

To upgrade your billing plan in the Pinecone console, do the following:

  1. In the Pinecone console, go to Settings > Billing > Plans.
  2. Click Upgrade in the Standard or Enterprise plan section.

After upgrading, you will immediately start paying for usage of your Pinecone indexes, including the serverless indexes that were free on the Starter plan. For more details about how costs are calculated, see Understanding cost.

Downgrade your billing plan

To stop recurring charges, you can downgrade to the free Starter plan. Before you can downgrade, your organization must be under the Starter plan quotas:

Once you meet the requirements above, downgrade to the Starter plan as follows:

  1. In the Pinecone console, go to Settings > Billing > Plans.
  2. Click Downgrade in the Starter plan section.

Your billing will end immediately; however, you will receive a final invoice for any charges accrued in the current month.
