Pinecone adds egress pricing: $0.10/GB overage past 100GB on top plans
What happened
Between the Jun 29, 2026 and Jul 6, 2026 captures of Pinecone's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added a new 'Egress' pricing dimension to the Database comparison table: Starter up to 1GB/mo, Builder up to 10GB/mo, Standard/Enterprise 100GB/mo included then $0.10/GB overage. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 3, 2026) lists Builder at $20, Standard at $4 Write Units (M) + $0.15 Restore from Backup (GB), Enterprise at $0.1 GB egress per month + $500 subscription, HIPAA Compliance at $190 and Developer Support at $29.
It lands 27 days after Pinecone's previous change, "Pinecone slashes storage costs 75%, expands Builder to multi-cloud" (Jun 9, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Pinecone launches $20 Builder plan with 1M token promo offer" (May 12, 2026) and "Pinecone Shifts to Region-Variable Pricing for Database Operations" (Apr 14, 2026). Pinecone has been tracked since 2023-12-22.
