Elastic splits out new Elasticsearch Vector Database product tile
What happened
Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of Elastic's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New Elasticsearch Vector Database product tile added (own Serverless pricing link), split out of the general Elasticsearch tile, which is now described as a general-purpose search datastore. Elastic pricing page now shows 4 product tiles instead of 3. In detail: Elastic split a new 'Elasticsearch Vector Database' product tile (optimized for vectors, own Serverless pricing link) out of the general Elasticsearch tile, now described as 'general-purpose search datastore'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Cloud Hosted - Standard at $99, Cloud Hosted - Gold at $114, Cloud Hosted - Platinum at $131, Cloud Hosted - Enterprise at $184 and Security Serverless - Essentials at $0.05 per GB egress + $0.09 per GB ingested.
It lands 245 days after Elastic's previous change, "Elastic Introduces 99.95% Uptime SLA for Platinum and Enterprise Tiers in Comparison Table" (Jan 11, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Elastic Introduces Self-Managed Deployment Options Across Key Products, Enhancing Control and Customization for Users" (Q3 2025), "Elastic Transforms Pricing Structure to Solution-Based Model, Enhancing Clarity for Elasticsearch, Observability, and Security Deployments" (Q2 2025) and "Elastic Moves Hybrid Ranking to Enterprise Plan, Enhancing Search Features with AI Assistant and Semantic Boost" (Q4 2024). Elastic has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Datadog, Sumologic, Splunk, Logicmonitor and Dynatrace also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
“Elasticsearch” is the name Elastic’s pricing page uses; Pulse files the change under Elastic, the company it tracks.
