Weaviate
Pricing Strategy
Self-serve, free tier
As of September 3, 2026, Weaviate's pricing: The Free Forever tier costs nothing, Flex runs $45/month, and both Premium tiers require a sales call, so a solo developer hits a pricing wall before seeing enterprise numbers. Storage on Flex costs $0.12/GiB versus $0.10/GiB on Premium Shared, meaning heavier workloads have a real incentive to move up. The Query Agent add-on is a flat $30/organization/month on top of any plan.
