Note: This calculator provides estimates based on Pinecone's published pricing. Read/write units are calculated using Pinecone's formulas: query RUs = records × dimensions × top_k / 1000, upsert WUs = dimensions / 1000. Actual costs may vary based on your specific usage patterns. Visit Pinecone's pricing page for official rates.
