Pipelines Pricing

Zilliz Cloud Pipelines adopts a pay-as-you-go pricing model. More specifically, you only pay for the actual usage of the models in Ingestion and Search Pipelines.

📘Notes

Zilliz Cloud Pipelines will be discontinued by the end of Q2 2025 and replaced by a new feature, “Data In, Data Out,” to streamline embedding generation in both Milvus and Zilliz Cloud. As of December 24, 2024, new user registrations are no longer accepted. Current users can continue using the service within the $20 monthly free allowance until the sunset date; however, no SLA is provided. Please consider using embedding APIs from model providers or open-source models to generate vector embeddings.
