The Standard trial lets you evaluate Pinecone without requiring any up-front payment. You get $300 in credits over 21 days with access to Standard plan features and limits that are suitable for testing Pinecone at scale.
If you’re building a small or personal project, consider the free Starter plan instead.

Key features

Expiration

At the end of a Standard trial, or when you’ve used all of your credits, you can take one of the following actions:
  • Add a payment method and continue on with the Standard plan.
  • Upgrade to the Enterprise plan.
  • Downgrade to a Starter plan (you can also do this before your trial expires, if you choose).

Downgrading to the Starter plan

To downgrade from a Standard trial to the Starter plan, you’ll need to bring your usage within Starter plan limits.
  • No more than 5 indexes, all serverless and in the us-east-1 region of AWS
  • No more than 1 project
  • No more than 2 GB of data across all of your serverless indexes
    • If you are storing more than 2 GB of data, delete records until you’re storing less than 2 GB.
  • No more than 100 namespaces per serverless index
    • If any serverless index has more than 100 namespaces, delete namespaces until it has 100 or fewer remaining.
  • No more than 3 assistants
  • Within the Starter plan’s monthly ingestion and token limits
    • Your usage must fit within the Starter plan limits for ingestion units, chat tokens, context tokens, and storage. Reduce files or usage until you are within those limits.
  • No more than 1 GB of assistant storage
    • If you have more than 1 GB of assistant storage, delete files until you’re storing less than 1 GB.
  • No more than 2 users
  • No collections or backups (these are automatically deleted as part of the downgrade process)
You do not need to bring Assistant usage (ingestion, tokens, and so on) under Starter caps before downgrading. If you exceed Starter limits after downgrading, new requests may be blocked until usage is within limits.
