Zilliz: Added free community Slack support to Free & Standard plans
What happened
Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of Zilliz's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Community support (Slack invite link) added as an included feature on the Free and Standard plans; the paid-tier comparison-table row was relabeled Slack channel -> Slack private channel. In detail: Added 'Community support: Slack invite link' as an included feature bullet on both the Free and Standard plans. The full feature-comparison table row was also relabeled from 'Slack channel' to 'Slack private channel' to distinguish the new free community Slack from the paid/dedicated private channel. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. The current page lists Dedicated Standard at $126 and Dedicated Enterprise at $197.
It lands 111 days after Zilliz's previous change, "Zilliz cuts vector storage prices up to 38% while boosting capacity" (May 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Zilliz raises dedicated plan prices 27%, adds on-demand compute tier" (May 13, 2026). Zilliz has been tracked since 2026-05-01.
In the same window Algolia, Weaviate, Chromatic, Pinecone and Qdrant also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
