Spice.ai Cloud (Community Edition) Storage

fails: quotaemailno cardR

spice.ai/pricing · data-platform · storage/spice-ai-cloud · JSON · compare

Free tier	No storage quota published, because the product is not storage. The free Community edition is the self-hosted OSS runtime under Apache 2.0 with community-only support; the hosted Cloud tier is 'subscription and usage-based pricing with tiered plans'. The datasets it serves are 'free, ready-to-query sample datasets' hosted by Spice, not by you. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Usage-based on Cloud; unmetered only if you self-host and pay your own egress.
Identity	email email
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	A SQL query endpoint over the Spice runtime, and a Data Connector model that federates to external sources. Self-hosting gives full control but on your own hardware.
Composes with	None for capacity — the free tier is software, so the bytes land wherever you point it (S3, GCS, local). It is a query layer, and a useful one, but it multiplies nothing.
Reliability	Not a storage provider. Listed to close the brief's item explicitly rather than leave it open.
Notes	No storage quota published, because the product is not storage. The free Community edition is the self-hosted OSS runtime under Apache 2.0 with community-only support; the hosted Cloud tier is 'subscription and usage-based pricing with tiered plans'. The datasets it serves are 'free, ready-to-query sample datasets' hosted by Spice, not by you.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
