Two paths, one platform. Choose how you want to work with Mixpeek.
Send raw files. Mixpeek handles extraction, embedding, and indexing. Pay for what your agents extract. Searches and retrievals are always free.
Shared multi-tenant infrastructure. Pay per unit of content processed.
Processing pool included in the minimum, then metered per unit of content. Up to 100K objects/month.
Processing pool included in the minimum, then metered per unit of content. Up to 1M objects/month, SSO, and priority support.
Single-tenant infrastructure, BYO extractors, SSO, audit logs, and a dedicated support team.
Most vector stores are an index. MVS is a database with agent-native retrieval — so you stop paying to bolt those capabilities on yourself.
| Capability | Pinecone | Qdrant | S3 Vectors | MVS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Database operations on your vectors | ||||
| Dense vector search (ANN)Approximate nearest neighbor search over high-dimensional embeddings. The baseline capability every vector store needs. | ||||
| Native dense + sparse + BM25 hybrid searchFuse semantic, sparse, and keyword relevance in one query plan. S3 Vectors is an index; MVS runs hybrid retrieval natively. | Dense + sparse | Dense + sparse | Dense + sparse + BM25 | |
| Semantic JOINs across namespacesJoin two namespaces by vector similarity, like a SQL JOIN but on embeddings. No denormalization or data duplication required. | ||||
| Aggregations (GROUP BY, COUNT, SUM, AVG)Run analytics directly on your vector store. Group documents by metadata fields and compute counts, averages, and sums without ETL. | ||||
| Cross-shard transactionsAtomic writes across multiple shards using two-phase commit, so multi-namespace changes remain all-or-nothing. | ||||
| Time-travel queriesQuery data as it existed at a past point in time by replaying the write-ahead log. Useful for debugging, auditing, and reproducibility. | ||||
| Object storage-native persistenceData lives in your object storage. S3 Vectors gives you a cheap index; MVS adds database operations on the same storage foundation. | ||||
| Built for agentic workloads | ||||
| Streaming partial resultsGet results as shards respond instead of waiting for every shard. Agents can evaluate early hits and decide whether to refine or cancel. | ||||
| Query cancellationCancel in-flight fan-out queries that an agent no longer needs. Freed shard work returns to the pool instead of burning through the loop. | ||||
| Per-agent budget limitsEnforce max queries, writes, and compute per agent or API key at the coordinator level. Prevent runaway autonomous loops from running up spend. | ||||
| Standing queriesRegister a persistent query that fires a webhook whenever a newly ingested document matches. | ||||
| Multi-stage retrieval pipelinesChain retrieval stages such as broad recall, filtering, joining, and reranking in one request instead of wiring round trips in application code. | ||||
| Query audit logFull audit trail of every query: who ran it, when, and what was returned. Agents need inspectable retrieval, not black-box calls. | ||||

Actual cloud compute costs passed through with a 20% management fee
Standalone (MVS) is a pure vector store: you bring your own embeddings and pay for object storage, hot cache, queries, and writes. Managed includes Mixpeek's extraction pipeline: you send raw files (video, images, PDFs), and Mixpeek handles chunking, embedding, and indexing, billed per unit of content processed.
Three questions set your bill: what kind of files (video, image, audio, document, text, web), how much of them (each file type is billed in its honest natural unit: video and audio per minute, images per file, documents per page, text per token), and what you want to search by (visual similarity, faces, on-screen text, transcripts -- each adds a per-unit rate on the same meter; clustering and taxonomy enrichment are included at no charge). Your plan's monthly minimum includes a usage pool that absorbs the first dollars of processing; you only pay overage beyond it. Searches and retrievals are included.
Yes. MVS works standalone. Bring your own embeddings, upsert directly, and search with dense, sparse, or BM25 hybrid queries. Build starts at $25/mo with up to 1M vectors. You can add extraction pipelines later without rebuilding your retrieval layer.
Enterprise pricing has two components: a platform fee (starting at $2,500/mo) for dedicated single-tenant infrastructure, SLA, and support, plus a 20% management fee on actual cloud compute costs. You can also bring your own extractors and models. Contact sales for a custom quote.
Yes. On Build and Scale, usage beyond your minimum is billed at standard rates with volume discounts at higher tiers. Enterprise (single-tenant) customers get custom pricing based on committed usage, deployment model, and support requirements.
No. All self-serve plans are billed monthly with no long-term commitments. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time.
