Pinecone Nexus reaches general availability

Pinecone pricing

Pinecone's Nexus agent knowledge engine moved from public preview to general availability on the pricing page. Access remains request/trial-gated with no public price disclosed; core Database, Inference, and Assistant rates are unchanged.

Before

Nexus was in public preview ("Request access" CTA), announced 2026-07-23.

After

Nexus is generally available ("Request trial" CTA); still no public pricing shown.

What these images do and don't show
  • These prices come from our capture alone — they were not confirmed against an independent second source.

Both images are our own captures, taken on the dates shown. The pixels are unmodified — nothing is retouched, and where a region is highlighted the marker is drawn over the image, not into it. Open either capture to see it at full resolution.

Pinecone’s pricing page now banners “Pinecone Nexus is now generally available” — up from the “Public Preview” status confirmed on 2026-07-23. Nexus is the company’s agent knowledge engine, offloading retrieval, assembly, and reasoning from the LLM to a dedicated layer that updates only when underlying data changes rather than on every agent call.

Despite the GA label, the product card’s call-to-action still reads “Request trial” rather than “View Pricing” (the pattern used by Database, Inference, and Assistant), so Nexus remains gated with no self-serve or published pricing. No changes were found to Database, Inference, or Assistant rates, plan minimums, or usage-unit pricing between the 2026-07-23 and 2026-08-11 captures.

Egress becomes a 4th billed meter; Nexus enters public preview

Serverless pricing now documents four usage meters — read units, write units, storage, and egress ($0.10/GB, 100 GB/mo included on Standard/Enterprise). Pinecone Nexus (agent knowledge engine) launched in public preview. Core RU/WU/storage plan rates unchanged; the $250 (1 TB) bulk-import credit was extended to 2026-08-31.

About Pinecone
pinecone.io ↗

Pinecone is a managed serverless vector database that bills on four usage dimensions: read units (RU), write units (WU), storage (per GB-month), and egress (per GB returned, $0.10/GB with a 100 GB/mo allowance on paid tiers) — separated so each scales independently.
