Useful, but not the primary storage layer
LlamaIndex Framework, not primary storage
Great orchestration and indexing layer, but it sits on top of storage backends rather than replacing them.
LangChain memory Wrapper, not primary storage
Useful abstractions, but the real durability still comes from SQLite, Postgres, vector DBs, files, etc.
Milvus Enterprise vector DB
A strong large-scale option, especially for enterprise and managed Zilliz-style deployments, but likely overkill for most solo builders.
What this page was grounded on
- Pinecone: Starter free, Standard now listed at $50/month minimum.
- Weaviate: Current managed pricing page centers on trial + Flex from $45/month minimum.
- Qdrant: Free tier published with 1 GB RAM / 4 GB disk and usage-based scaling above that.
- Supabase: pgvector lives inside Postgres; Free and Pro from $25/month are visible on the pricing page.
- Mem0: Free, $19 Starter, and $249 Pro are current on the official pricing page.
- TiDB Cloud Zero: Separate from normal TiDB Cloud; positioned as disposable serverless MySQL for AI agents and demos.
