What to watch

  • Chroma's marketing pages mention a Pro plan in places; the pricing page lists Starter and Team.
  • Chroma says it no longer offers bring-your-own-cloud deployments (October 2026).
  • Credit card is the only payment method listed for Starter and Team.
  • Check trychroma.com/pricing before buying.
