Asteroid keeps large vector indexes mostly on disk, reducing the memory pressure that often drives vector database cost.
for workloads under 1M vectors after the free pilot
Target price, not a formal public plan. Final pricing depends on workload fit.
The cost lever is memory: less RAM pressure means a lower hosting baseline.
The benchmark page shows the technical evidence: memory footprint, build time, and query performance against other vector databases. See benchmarks.
A 1M-vector workload can often reach tens to hundreds of dollars per month on managed or provisioned search infrastructure. Asteroid's hosted target starts from $39/month after the pilot.
Directional estimates based on public pricing pages. Actual bills vary by region, replicas, storage, traffic, support plan, and workload shape.
Bring your workload. We'll help you measure whether Asteroid can lower the vector database cost for your use case.
The pilot is free. We use your vector count, dimension, and expected traffic to estimate fit, measure memory use, and discuss the right hosted plan.
Asteroid still needs enough CPU, disk, and memory to serve your traffic. The pilot helps measure that fit before you commit.
