Prices may change. These are correct as of 9 Nov 2026. Please confirm on the vendor's own page before you pay.

Unverified: Partly checked. Free, Flex and Premium figures are from Weaviate's current pricing page. Older Weaviate pages and a 2025 blog post still show a $25 Serverless start and a $280 Plus plan, so Weaviate's own pages disagree.

Free plan

Free plan. Free cluster is free forever with no billing account: shared cloud, up to 100,000 objects and 1 collection.

Taken from what the vendor says the tool does. We have not tested it.

What to watch

  • Weaviate's older Serverless page still says from $25 a month, and a 2025 blog post lists a Plus plan from $280 a month; the current pricing page shows Flex from $45 and no Plus.
  • A Weaviate community thread reports that highly available clusters cost more than the old $25 headline; all paid plans are now highly available by default.
  • Weaviate changed its backup rates in September 2026.
  • Self-hosting the open-source database is free but runs on your own servers.
  • Check weaviate.io/pricing before buying.
