| Free tier | 1 cluster per user, 100,000 objects, 1 GB memory, 10 GB disk, 1 collection, up to 3 tenants, always free unit objects; metered on object-count |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Identity | email email signup; no card on Free |
| Egress | not published on the pricing page; recorded as a gap |
| Per-object cap | 100,000 objects per cluster; 1 collection |
| Retention | always free, with no deletion clock published |
| Interface | rest, cli a REST API and GraphQL; Python, TypeScript, Java and Go clients |
| Tooling | the weaviate-client libraries; GraphQL for queries |
| Composes with | the only free vector tier that caps objects rather than bytes, so it is the right shape for many small records and the wrong shape for a few large ones |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | One collection is the constraint that decides it. A multi-tenant design that needs a collection per tenant stops at one, and a single collection with 100,000 objects is a small index. |
| Evidence note | documented the pricing page was read. |

Evidence 1
| date | source | what it proved |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-22 | weaviate.io/pricing | Free: 'Always free - 1 cluster per user'; '100,000 objects - 1 GB memory - 10 GB disk'; '1 collection, up to 3 tenants'; the comparison table repeats object limit 100,000 and collection limit 1 |

- egress metered: egress metering was not published
- reliability note: nothing of this kind was observed
- Free allowance
- Usable on a free Weaviate Cloud cluster at 2,000 embedding requests per cluster per day; with 200 objects per batch that is at most 400,000 embeddings a day.

- request-rate2,000 requests per cluster per day on a free cluster; batch import is capped at 200 objects per batch, so at most 400,000 embeddings per day

| Free tier | usable on a free Weaviate Cloud cluster at 2,000 embedding requests per cluster per day; with 200 objects per batch that is at most 400,000 embeddings a day. Text models: snowflake-arctic-embed-m-v1.5 and -l-v2.0; multimodal: ModernVBERT/colmodernvbert; no reranker is listed unit requests; metered on request-count; the service is called from a cluster, with no separate key: 'you only need a connection to your Weaviate Cloud cluster' |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | request-rate 2,000 requests per cluster per day is the only published limit on a free cluster |
| Identity | email a Weaviate Cloud account and a free cluster; unverified: the sign-up form fields and whether a card is asked, because the console answered with a login wall to the page reader |
| Egress | not published |
| Interface | rest |
| Tooling | Weaviate client libraries vectorize on import and query; the service is enabled by default for every cluster |
| Composes with | embeddings stay inside the same free cluster that stores the vectors |
| Reliability | the page calls Weaviate Embeddings a paid service that can be tried free on a free cluster; the data is processed in the United States |
| Notes | derived: 2,000 requests * 200 objects per batch = 400,000 embeddings per day, as the vendor page states |
| Evidence note | documented the daily request cap, the batch size and the model list are quoted from the vendor page; the sign-up fields are unverified. |
