Sanity Caps Free Embeddings at 500/mo, Adds Cross-Dataset References
What happened
Between the Apr 13, 2026 and Apr 21, 2026 captures of Sanity's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Embeddings queries (reads) limits introduced: Free plan capped at 500/month, Growth at 1k/month with $1.50/1k overage. Previously 'Semantic search (embeddings)' was a single fully-included row for all plans; Cross-dataset references availability for Enterprise plan changed from Custom to Included, making it a standard included feature rather than a custom arrangement. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change, feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 29, 2026) lists Growth at $15, Extra Datasets at $999, Increased Quota at $299 and Dedicated Support at $799.
It lands 37 days after Sanity's previous change, "Sanity introduces 'Content Agent Slack, API' feature for all plans" (Mar 17, 2026). Sanity has been tracked since 2025-12-29.
In the same window Webflow, Netlify, Craft and Contentful also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
