Pricing
Understand the pricing of Zilliz Cloud Pipelines and learn how to estimate your pipeline usage.
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.

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.
Estimate Pipeline Usage [READ MORE]
The cost of running pipelines is measured by tokens. Similar to Large Language Model (LLM) that uses token as a basic unit, pipelines process documents and search queries by parsing and embedding the text as a series of tokens. To understand the cost of a pipeline run, you can use our Estimate Pipeline Usage tool to count tokens of a file or a text string.
