The setup cost for us is nil, and the licensing and pricing are pretty decent. Pinecone works on the storage amount, so our bills are pretty low, and we are good.
Pinecone is not cheap; it's actually quite expensive. We find that using Pinecone can raise our budget significantly. On the other hand, using open-source options is more budget-friendly.
Initially, the product was expensive. My company used to pay $70 per index. Now, we can pay according to our needs. It is a pay-as-you-go model. For the same use case, we are currently paying $4. The solution is relatively cheaper than other vector DBs in the market. It is worth the money.

Users find it particularly useful for similarity search, recommendation systems, and natural language processing.
Its efficient search capabilities, seamless integration with existing systems, and ability to handle large-scale datasets make it a valuable tool for data analysis and retrieval.
