Vectorize

Vectorize is now Generally Available

To report bugs or give feedback, go to the #vectorize Discord channel ↗︎. If you are having issues with Wrangler, report issues in the Wrangler GitHub repository ↗︎.

Vectorize bills are based on:

• Queried Vector Dimensions: The total number of vector dimensions queried. If you have 10,000 vectors with 384-dimensions in an index, and make 100 queries against that index, your total queried vector dimensions would sum to 3.878 million ( (10000 + 100) * 384).
• Stored Vector Dimensions: The total number of vector dimensions stored. If you have 1,000 vectors with 1536-dimensions in an index, your stored vector dimensions would sum to 1.536 million ( 1000 * 1536).
• Indexes: The Workers Paid plan includes 50,000 indexes per account. Each additional index costs $0.10 per month.

You are not billed for CPU, memory, or "active index hours". If you are not issuing queries against your indexes, you are not billed for queried vector dimensions.

Billing metrics

	Workers Free	Workers Paid
Total queried vector dimensions	30 million queried vector dimensions / month	First 50 million queried vector dimensions / month included + $0.01 per million
Total stored vector dimensions	5 million stored vector dimensions	First 10 million stored vector dimensions + $0.05 per 100 million
Indexes	100	Unlimited, with a default limit of 50,000. First 50,000 included + $0.10 per additional index per month.

Calculating vector dimensions

To calculate your potential usage, calculate the queried vector dimensions and the stored vector dimensions, and multiply by the unit price. The formula is defined as ((queried vectors + stored vectors) * dimensions * ($0.01 / 1,000,000)) + (stored vectors * dimensions * ($0.05 / 100,000,000))

• For example, inserting 10,000 vectors of 768 dimensions each, and querying those 1,000 times per day (30,000 times per month) would be calculated as ((30,000 + 10,000) * 768) = 30,720,000 queried dimensions and (10,000 * 768) = 7,680,000 stored dimensions (within the included monthly allocation)
• Separately, and excluding the included monthly allocation, this would be calculated as (30,000 + 10,000) * 768 * ($0.01 / 1,000,000) + (10,000 * 768 * ($0.05 / 100,000,000)) and sum to $0.31 per month.

Usage examples

The following table defines a number of example use-cases and the estimated monthly cost for querying a Vectorize index. These estimates do not include the Vectorize usage that is part of the Workers Free and Paid plans.

Workload	Dimensions per vector	Stored dimensions	Queries per month	Calculation	Estimated total
Experiment	384	5,000 vectors	10,000	((10000+5000)*384*(0.01/1000000)) + (5000*384*(0.05/100000000))	$0.06 / mo included
Scaling	768	25,000 vectors	50,000	((50000+25000)*768*(0.01/1000000)) + (25000*768*(0.05/100000000))	$0.59 / mo most
Production	768	50,000 vectors	200,000	((200000+50000)*768*(0.01/1000000)) + (50000*768*(0.05/100000000))	$1.94 / mo
Large	768	250,000 vectors	500,000	((500000+250000)*768*(0.01/1000000)) + (250000*768*(0.05/100000000))	$5.86 / mo
XL	1536	500,000 vectors	1,000,000	((1000000+500000)*1536*(0.01/1000000)) + (500000*1536*(0.05/100000000))	$23.42 / mo

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions related to Vectorize pricing:

• Will Vectorize always have a free tier?

Yes, the Workers free tier will always include the ability to prototype and experiment with Vectorize for free.

• What happens if I exceed the monthly included reads, writes and/or storage on the paid tier?

You will be billed for the additional reads, writes and storage according to Vectorize's pricing.

• Does Vectorize charge for data transfer / egress?

No.

• Do queries I issue from the HTTP API or the Wrangler command-line count as billable usage?

Yes: any queries you issue against your index, including from the Workers API, HTTP API and CLI all count as usage.

• Does an empty index, with no vectors, contribute to storage?

No. Empty indexes do not count as stored vector dimensions.

Empty indexes still count toward your account's index allocation. Each index above the Workers Paid allocation costs $0.10 per month.

The following limits apply to accounts, indexes, and vectors:
