Interface	rest, cli a REST API for data and control planes; Python, Node and Java SDKs; the pinecone CLI
Tooling	the Pinecone SDKs and CLI; no Postgres extension path
Composes with	a free vector index that mostly matters for a workload too large for pgvector on a free Postgres, because pgvector is already available on both Neon and Supabase at no extra cost
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	2 GB is an organization-level cap and one project is the whole allowance, so there is no way to shard around it. 1 GB a month of egress is 33 MB a day, which a retrieval workload serving embeddings exceeds before the 2 GB of storage matters.
Evidence rung	documented the pricing comparison table was read today. The 1 GB monthly egress is on it and was not in the census. the pricing page states them and is now the only source for them.
