Description

Table of Contents

What ParadeDB SaaS plans are available?

ParadeDB offers Free, Developer, and Team tiers. Free targets personal projects, Developer unlocks higher vector quotas and private networking, and Team adds role-based access control plus priority support.

How do I estimate monthly ParadeDB cost?

Multiply cluster hours, stored vectors, and egress by the unit prices in the pricing table. Add fixed subscription fees for Developer or Team plans.

Which database metrics matter most?

Watch vector_count, cluster_hours, and egress_gb.These three drive nearly all variable charges.

Can I query usage data from Postgres?

Yes. ParadeDB writes daily usage snapshots to paradedb_usage. Join that with pricing to compute cost in-db and surface it in dashboards.

How do I downgrade or upgrade?

Run CALL paradedb.set_plan('developer'); or use the web console.Changes take effect at the next billing cycle.

Best practice: add cost guards

Create alerts on sudden spikes in vector_count or egress_gb to avoid bill shock.

Best practice: delete unused vectors

Schedule a nightly job to purge orphaned embeddings so you stay within Free or Developer quotas.

Why How to Choose a ParadeDB SaaS Pricing Plan is important

How to Choose a ParadeDB SaaS Pricing Plan Example Usage


-- Estimate current month cost for a workspace
WITH m AS (
  SELECT SUM(cluster_hours)     AS hrs,
         SUM(stored_vectors)/1e6 AS vec_m,
         SUM(egress_gb)          AS gb
  FROM   paradedb_usage
  WHERE  date_trunc('month', usage_date) = date_trunc('month', CURRENT_DATE)
), p AS (
  SELECT metric, unit_cost FROM pricing
)
SELECT (hrs      * (SELECT unit_cost FROM p WHERE metric='cluster_hour'))          +
       (vec_m    * (SELECT unit_cost FROM p WHERE metric='stored_vector_million')) +
       (gb       * (SELECT unit_cost FROM p WHERE metric='egress_gb'))             AS est_total
FROM   m;

How to Choose a ParadeDB SaaS Pricing Plan Syntax


-- ParadeDB pricing reference table
CREATE TABLE pricing (
    metric text PRIMARY KEY,
    unit_cost numeric -- USD per unit
);
-- Example rows
INSERT INTO pricing VALUES
 ('cluster_hour', 0.15),
 ('stored_vector_million', 5),
 ('egress_gb', 0.09);

-- Usage table populated by ParadeDB
CREATE TABLE paradedb_usage (
    usage_date date,
    cluster_hours numeric,
    stored_vectors bigint,
    egress_gb numeric
);

-- Stored procedure to switch plans
CALL paradedb.set_plan(plan_name text DEFAULT 'free');

Common Mistakes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does the Free plan include private networking?

No. Private VPC peering starts at the Developer tier.

Can I pause a ParadeDB cluster to save money?

Yes, pausing stops cluster_hour accrual but storage fees still apply.

Is AI-powered similarity search priced separately?

No. Similarity search is bundled; you pay only for compute, storage, and egress.
