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.

Expiration

At the end of the trial, or when you’ve used up all your credits, you can add a payment method and continue on with the Standard plan, or you can upgrade to an Enterprise plan. Learn more about pricing. Before your Standard trial expires, you can downgrade to a Starter plan. To do so, you must first 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
  • No more than 100 namespaces per serverless index
  • No more than 3 assistants
  • No more than 10 files per assistant
  • No more than 1 GB of Assistant storage
After your Standard trial expires, you can downgrade to a Starter plan only if your account is already within Starter plan limits (that is, if you already reduced your usage to within Starter plan limits before the trial expired). Otherwise, you’ll need to upgrade your account to a paid plan, or let it get deleted. If you have questions, contact Support.
